XP - update KB979906 will not be installed

SP 1 Security Update for Windows 2000 and XP - KB979906 - will NOT be installed. Automatic Instyall keeps trying to install it and it fails. After a few minutes, the automatic installer appears and try to automatically install it again - and again, it fails. I tried to go to Microsoft Updates and install via this method, but it also fails.

Any ideas as to what is happening here and how I can fix this problem? Obviously if it is to be installed, I have installed it, but if it is not then how to remove this irritation?

Thank you.

Any info is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for any information, that everyone has.

    Hello

    It seems to be a virus called protectfile.vbs or autorun.inf.

    Follow the steps below to remove this virus from your computer.


    MoveOnBoot open

    Go to rename Action-> rename file

    A dialog box opens, select the file. Because these files are hidden files, you will not be able to travel and see. Please enter
     
    Enter "C:\protectfile.vbs" in the section of the file selection.
    Enter "C:\protectfile.html" in the section of the destination file. Enter OK.

    Similarly, repeat steps 2 through 4 for the file 'C:\autorun.inf' and rename the in 'C:\autorun.html '.

    Do not restart your computer. We have implemented moveonboot to rename the .vbs ProtectFile in only one of the disks.

    Repeat step 2 to 5 for each disk. For example, if you have 4 drives on your computer (C, D, E, F), then you will have to rename '.vbs C:\protectfile', 'D:\protectfile.vbs', 'E:\protectfile.vbs' and '.vbs F:\protectfile' 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html' and 'F:\protectfile.html' respectively.

     
    Even renaming file "autorun.inf" in all readers for the corresponding ' autorun.html' files.

    Restart your computer. We have disabled the virus.

    Now we will remove it completely.

    Reopen MoveOnBoot.

    Go to delete Actions-> delete the files

    You will not be able to browse and reach the files. Then click Browse and enter 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html', 'F:\protectfile.html', 'C:\autorun.html', 'D:\autorun.html', 'E:\autorun.html' and 'F:\autorun.html '.

    Restart your computer.

    The steps above should solve the problem for you.

  • Win 7 x 64-updated KB2160841 will not install

    I've been running Win 7 x 64 for a year with no problem installing updates.  This latest update will not be installed.  I tried troubleshooting ideas.

    My son came this afternoon and somehow determined that my .net program has been corrupted.  He uninstalled and installed again and everything worked fine after that.  I wish I could better explain what he was doing.

  • This update that kb2729450 will not be installed on my machine.

    This update that kb2729450 will not be installed on my machine. I am running Windows XP SP3. .NET framework 1.1 of .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 are also responsible... Why the many versions?

    The yellow security shield appears in the status bar. I click on the shield and the Update window opens. I select the "quick installation" and the installation of the update begins. After a few minutes, the message 'Done '. Here's where she spreads all other "Updates" I ran this machine. In the "Done" window, there is only an option button "close"... No button "restart the computer". I click on the "Close" button, the window collapses and the yellow shield disappears... for about 5 minutes, when he reappears! I check the 'Add Remove Programs' in Control Panel, and I don't see that kb2729450 listed. I've "installed" 5 - 6 times, always with the same result. I was struck with this ransomware FBI 4-5 months ago and it was professionally removed. Since I was very nervous when this machine burps.  Also, since the Microsoft Community page, I ran Kaspersky anti-rootkit.  He has reported no problems with this machine

    Nope, different from the machine, although I think I solved it.  I "restored" to a point three weeks ago.  After that 'Restore' finished, I have rebooted and within minutes the yellow shield pops up... I installed every 5 or 6 that this KB.  After installation, he went through his screen to normal closing with the radio button 'restart now '.  After the reboot, I checked the area add / remove in the control panel and Voila.  They and KB2729450 are all here.  The machine seems to work very well and also faster than its ever been.
