Windows Vista. Update error Code 80072EFE
I'm so sick of Vista, error code constant update and cant update since April 2010, windows Defender won't update, installed a service pack manually, but I can't get the security updates, get error 80072EFE code, very frustrated at this point, all scanned and it's showing no malaware , or virus or anything, so he doesn't let me access my desktop unless I'm scanning the c drive for errors first (2 or more hours to scan) Oh so many questions, I could try windows 7. At my wits end with Vista premium 32 bit... Thanks if you can help... frustrated!
Hello
I've seen this error quite often.
Error 80072EFE is related to the update server closing the connection.
Mosty likely, the computer can be infected by ROOTKITS.
Try TDSSKILLER to find rootkits.
Download and run from here
http://support.Kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/TDSSKiller.exe
Then try to update Security Essentials
See you soon

original title: problems with Windows VISTA update
I'm using Windows Vista (SP2). Windows update is not able to update the following updates on my system. Whenever I get these error messages.
- 9 47 code
- Code 800070002
- Code D 80024200.
Is there a resolution to do the same thing?
Hello
Did you change your computer?
I suggest you to follow the methods and check.
Method 1:
Problems with installing updates
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-installing-updates
Method 2:
If you have installed a security software on the computer, then I suggest you try to disable temporary and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable security software back once the diagnosis is made to prevent the computer from virus attacks.

Problems with Windows Vista update error code I get is Code: 80096001
Hi gang,.
I need help I can get at this point. I am currently working on a machine to a customer who had the rootkit zero.access top. The machine works like a champ, now that it is all clean; but for some reason any Windows Vista refuses to update. Let me mention the operating system before proceeding. The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. When I try to run Windows Update, the machine has a total of seven updates to install; This is especially important and option. In the important section, the machine is trying to install a security update and that is 9. In the optional section, the machine is trying to install the driver as updates: video, network, etc. The PC is already running Service Pack2. The error code I get is: 80096001. I tried every fix that Microsoft recommends, even the Microsoft Fix It tool. Nothing seems to work. I had a simular problem before in Windows XP. If my memory is good, I had to go to the entry in the registry of Windows Update and apply a DWORD here, or something; I don't remember exactly what I did. I can tell you that I checked the registry and there is literally no key to change in Windows Update. Any help or advice would be great, this question is about to drive me crazy.
Thank you
What's next for security/antivirus installed; is it's subscription and current definitions; has whatever it is detected the last time that the system has been scanned with it?
You can reset the Windows Update components, but If the malware is present on the system update will still be blocked by the malware.
(When was the last time you checked your system for malicious programs?)

Hey League kang
Follow the advice of microsoft at the link below
This problem occurs when Windows Setup encounters an error. Error code 0 x 80070646 and error code 646 are generated by Windows Installer. These generic errors indicate that Windows Installer has encountered a problem. When you encounter errors that are described in the section "Symptoms", the problem may be caused by an incorrect value in the registry.
