Cumalative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP

What can i do?
Be very specific about what you are doing and what product you are doing it
on...
Windows XP what?
What service pack?
How are you downloading/installing the update?
What solutions have you tried?
Making more than a few assumptions...
First thing to try:
As many will tell you - ignore the title and symptoms listed in the article
referred to. Do method 1 and 2 and see if it fixes your issue whether or
not you repaired anything.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144
Try method 1 and try to update*.
If fails - try method 2 and try to update*.
*try to update:
- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
- If it asks you to install anything before you see a selection of "Custom"
or "Express" - do so.
- Once you see the "Custom" or "Express" selection, choose "Custom".
- Scan for updates.
- When it lists what it finds - install the critical ones.
- You are generally safe doing the Optional Software Updates. I suggest
avoiding the Optional Hardware Updates completely.
Second thing to try:
http://www.codeplex.com/aureset
Third thing to try:
Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix
Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".
Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot will be needed.
- Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
(You *may* need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce"
right after the reboot - immediately after logging in.)
- Reboot.
- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install updates.
Usually - method one from the first suggestion fixes the issue.
Sometimes they have to proceed to method two from the first suggestion.
Less seldom - but it does happen - only the tool from the second suggestion
will work - although the first suggestion is contained within the second in
many ways (as well as some of the third.)
And the third suggestion is there because before there was a suggestion (1)
and a suggestion (2) - the third was the best bet and worked in most cases.
Let us know!
If all those fail - it is entirely probable (given my assumptions have been
correct so far) that you have spyware/adware/malware or some sort of
trojan/virus/worm. You should run SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes as a
follow-up.

Hi, I went through your suggestions as described but the problem remains.
and the Cumalative Security Update. Only the Defender update downloaded.
My question now is, what makes Super Antispyware any better than the Avast
Antivirus program or AdAware that i now run?
Thanks, Jules.
