Error Code 80244019

While Auto Updating Windows Vista Ultimate I got this message. Its related to
Windows Update 929735. It downloads okay and tries to Install but in the end
gives the message Failed to install.
If its only for Windows Defender update it should not matter much. I always
had problem updating Win Defender in Win XP Pro anyway.

Thanks Devanz,
Surely it worked. I may only add that after reboot don't forget to restart
Win Defender , if it has not started automatically by pressing win log and R .

I can reach it. Try again.

>> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923159/

See if the system can access the MS Malware Protection Center:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/default.aspx

Here's a direct link to the latest definitions for Windows Defender,
x86 [32bit]: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Link...14&clcid=0x409

If not, check the HOSTS file located in
WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
for 'undesired' entries that may have been put there by malware.
If the system is being denied updates with the error code 80244019 in
Vista and WD can not be updated, that's a tipoff that malware is likely
present.

IF you receive an Access Denied error when attempting to view/edit the
HOSTS file: You cannot modify the Hosts file or the Lmhosts file in
Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923947

Delete *any* entries in HOSTS that pertain to Microsoft.
EX:
127.0.0.1 update.microsoft.com
127.0.0.1 go.microsoft.com
127.0.0.1 microsoft.com

Hello guys
Found a solution myself. Already had Malware Bytes on my PC. hadnt scanned in a month.
Well I ran a scan and it found a trojan, that in fact is a DNS changer, and then was preventing me to download and install updates but also go to find Windows drivers...
The trojan infected the registry Keys. Here I paste the locations given by malware Bytes report.

It was infecting the TCP/IP stack.
