Windows Update - always kb842773

[Guest]

Either updates from start>all prog> windows updates or from tool>windows
update , it will always download KB842773 which its has successfully
downloaded 4 times. There after I try to go for further updtes, it will still
download this kb842773. There is no error message although once I did see
error 0 x 8000 0007.
I am still trying to clear the virus etc and would like to know how can I
bring my Windows xp prof up to date. Thank you

I am still trying to clear the virus etc...

Most likely you'll need to "clear the virus etc" before you can install it
(see below), although you might try downloading/installing it manually via

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
