Re: windows automatic update?

Hi,

I disabled the spyware protection and script scanning. I also disabled the
antivirus automatic update.
I typed the following commands (got off a support website) at the prompt:
net stop wuauserv

regsvr32 msxml3.dll

regsvr32 wups2.dll

net start wuauserv

exit

Windows automatic update came up but did not download at all. it later went
off.
I checked the log again and still got the same PTError. I am still reducing
the number of startup items in the Mcafee suit.

Cheers.

Yemi.

Hello,

The specific name of the software suit is Mcafee Security Center 8.1,
using virus scan version 12.1 and Personal Firewall version 9.1.
I have attached a copy of the window update log file created today. I
could see couple of errors/fails but couldnt make any sense out of it.
Thanks so far though.

Cheers.

I repeat:


Without knowing the specific name and version of the McAfee 'product'
any further advice is just
guessing.

Disabling Windows Defender will do *nothing* to resolve the issue.

You could attempt to have the system check for updates and then post the
last 50 or so lines of the WindowsUpdate.log [located in WINDOWS].

Go to Start > Run > type in [or copy&paste the below into the Open:
line]

wuauclt /detectnow
Click OK or press Enter

Wait a while and then open the WU.log and post the *last 50 or so
lines*.

"svchost" which is responsible for AU is running in memory and Mcaffee
grants it full access. However, I have windows defender also running
(simultaneously). I will just go ahead and disable one for another and
see
what happens.

Cheers.

If the issue appeared after installing McAfee then it's being caused
by
McAfee.
Have you checked in McAfee's Security Center to see if it wants to
control
automatic updating ?

Hello,

I have checked in the Services console and automatic updates is
running
(it has a stop or restart link showing). also BITS and RPC are also
running. AU is also set to automatic and everything look OK in the
services panel.

I have installed Mcafee security center suit with firewall
protection.
could this possible be a problem. And if so, how can I be sure it is
not
blocking AU from synching up.

Cheers.

Open the Services console and check to see if the Automatic Updates
service is set to Automatic.
*Right* click My Computer either on the Desktop or Start Menu and
choose
' Manage '
Expand Service and Applications by clicking the plus sign next to it
Click on Services
In the right frame, click on Automatic Updates
Is there a Stop or Restart link showing ?
If yes, then AU is running.

If no, then double click on Automatic Updates and set the Startup
type to
'Automatic'.
Click Apply, OK.
Restart the system.
Did it stay Automatic or did it shut off again ?

If it shut off there could be either malware present, there is some
file
corruption, or files need to be registered that is affecting the AU
service.

Also, check to see if Background Intelligent Transfer Service
[BITS],
the Cryptographic service, and Remote Procedural Call [RPC] are all
set
to Automatic. ( BITS can also be set to Manual in order to do
Automatic
Updating )

What is the installed antivirus and/or anti-malware software ?
Is a 3rd party firewall included with a security suite being used ?
