[Crossposted to Windows Update newsgroup]
I said nothing about uninstalling your anti-virus application! Reinstall it
ASAP! Do not connect the machine to the internet without active anti-virus
protection and an enabled firewall!
========================
I recommend that you...
Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?gprid=6527
Support for Windows Update:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wusupport
For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with
security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related
to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB947864).
!!! => If your problem relates to a Cumulative Security Update for IE, call
the above number and ask to be transferred to the Consumer IE7 queue (which
is 47830). <= !!!
For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary
for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web
site:
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx
For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through
your usual support contacts.
