Is there any sort of error message or failure code being reported when
this happens?

That information will help identify the cause of your problems.

You receive a "0x80070002" or "0x80070003" error code after you download an update from
Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or from Windows Server Update Services
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336/en-us

When searching for available updates on the Update site, you see the 0x80070002 or
0x80070003 error

well gerry, where it all started was cause i kept getting this error thing
after boot up of angen.exe error wich i had no idea what it was so i came on
here and somone said i needed to get this free scan thing and see what i
might have on my pc so i think it was clean it pro somthing like that and so
i ran the scan and it said i had a couple things and one of thwm being a
virus called updates from win32.Alcra.A where it stops ur updates from
installing i guess and stop a couple of services or programs or somthing and
norton said they couldnt help me when i chated live with them sop i just
clicked off my automatic updates cause the pc would act funny cauyse it would
keep popping up telling me updates were ready to install and that got
annoying so i dont know where to go from here i dont know how important its
going to be to not install updates from now on but i am at a brick wall with
this.
