1311799	2012-11-11 04:36:00	Youre not using DD-WRT firmware on the router are you? If you are, you need to untick the Filter ActiveX option in it. Looks like this can also cause that error, if its enabled / ticked Where would I find that on my D-Link DSL-G604T?	QW. (15883)
1311800	2012-11-11 04:39:00	Did you put DD-WRT on it?? If you didn't you wont see it. Put teamviewer on this, and I'll have a look. Send the ID and pw it gives you, to me in a PM	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1311801	2012-11-11 04:40:00	Did you put DD-WRT on it?? If you didn't you wont see it. Don't know if it is there or not.	QW. (15883)
1311802	2012-11-11 04:43:00	Probably isnt then, if you cant remember. The option wont be there	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1311803	2012-11-11 04:51:00	So what else could be causing Windows Update not work.	QW. (15883)
1311804	2012-11-11 04:54:00	What happened when you changed the software distribution folder ?? Was there any sort of message ?? Saying " it didn't work at all"means nothing really. BTW, if McAfee is the cause, then simply disabling it wont work, you have to actually fully uninstall/remove it. Has windows update actually worked in the past with the current software / Hardware etc ?	wainuitech (129)

I got the message like in the post in the other thread that you linked pressf1.pcworld.co.nz No hardware been added. Did have MSE installed but got rid of because of the so called return to sender emails were coming in the inbox. Wasn't my choice to install it. Software nothing has been changed that I am aware of. Could have something there I don't nothing about. Windows update was working fine till McAfee was installed.	QW. (15883)
1311806	2012-11-11 05:06:00	Interesting . I'm having exactly the same problem in addition to the post I made here: . pcworld . co . nz/showthread . php?127735-Strange-problem . " target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz I was able to fix this with wainuitech's suggestion (option 8 - . microsoft . com/kb/2509997" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com) . This worked for two days and then the problem came back . I had to do it a second time (but rename it something different to softwaredistribution . old as had existing folder with same name) and again it worked for 2-3 days . Now this solution isn't working at all for me either . I also tried the system readiness hotfix in method 2 in the same link, and also a MS fixit tool for WU probs (can't find link), which said it corrected something, but the problem persists - repeated 8024402f errors) . I also tried google proxy addresses since that appears to have helped some . I googled "8024402f October 2012" and there are a LOT of results for vista and win7, with very varied fixes . The problem began for me on 18/10/2012 - seems around the same time for many . We have the same modem/router I note .	catspyjamas (15614)
1311807	2012-11-11 05:11:00	MSE wouldnt cause the return to sender ermails. You probably sent emails to non-existent email addressees. And they've bounced back to you. If WU was working, before Mcafee was installed, uninstall it then use its removal tool. Obviously, its blocking something. Since both of you are using the same modem/router does it have the latest firmware on it?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
