1172669 2011-01-26 09:49:00 Hmm what firewalls have been installed on this, or were on this? lol well the guy PMed the fix. I have no idea what the fix was

What if you get _KB2478935 manually then try and install it as well the spam filter? Unless the folders (or one of them exist in c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder?)

1172670 2011-01-26 09:57:00 lol sorry speedy :p

just the windows firewall, and it did have eset smart security on it at one point, but that was months and months ago.

that update is already installed as well as the malicious software removal tool for jan 2011

1172671 2011-01-26 10:00:00 this may help (computerhelpforums.net)

Go to start / run type regedit, find Package_for_KB2478935~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1. 0 (the error youre getting), then delete every instance of it.

Then try windowsupdate again, see if it works. I can check it out with teamviewer if you want send me an ID and pw in a PM

1172676 2011-01-26 22:45:00 Sweet GJ :banana: Fix was to delete every entry in the registry (re: the error, as mentioned) then go back to WU again, and check for updates. I backed up the entries I deleted just in case. Dont think you need them now, the update would have re-added them Speedy Gonzales (78)
1172677 2011-01-26 23:02:00 no worries.

nothing to worry about now :D
