XP - error 0x80072EFF
System - XP (SP3)
I can't go to the Windows Update page through automatic updates.
I think I got a virus when I was redirected in my research on the web. I don't have any software at the time. I subsequently installed Trend Micro software and Trojan horse was detected and removed.
Trend Micro said missed me 33 updates from microsoft, I couldn't connect (using Mozilla)... once I got the error Code: 0x80072EFF. I was able to navigate to the page of updated and individually download updates and run through the Setup Wizard. However, whenever I run the Trend Micro scan, it says I am missing these updates.
Any help that you could provide is appreciated.

Cleaning a compromised system

Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!
HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307
Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before connecting a flash drive, card SD or any other external disk to the computer:

Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029
NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).
