Guest

Hi. I am running the public beta of Vista, and when I try to use the windows
update control panel I get the message Error(s) Found: Code 80244019.

Does anybody know what this error code means? Has anybody seen it before?

Thanks. I'll try it again from time to time to seek if it works. Is there
anything I can check on my computer to see if the problem is at my end?

did you try running a full system scan through windows defender?be sure to
update the definitions.


This happened to me on a Vista Home Premium HP Pavilion. It had been
spyware infected.

I ran HiJack and found entries that redirected DNS entries from what
they should be to ones set by whatever hijacked the pc. I fixed those.
After trying again, I got a slightly different error code that meant
that the firewall was blocking the site ms uses to do the auto updates.
I added those sites to the exceptions list under the security settings
in IE and it worked after that.

since I happen to be near-paranoid when it comes to installing anything ( or
even saving non-executable files for that matter ) in my system,I have not
yet come across any threats to my pc (Windows Vista Ultimate x86 with SP1)
so that I can know whether windows defender is doing it's job
properly.However,should you feel defender to be not upto-the-mark,I am sure
little else probably beats windows live onecare,the comprehensive one-stop
pc security and maintenance package.Use it to believe it.and no,it won't
consume high resources.


No, never did try that. I guess I'll try that next time since the
problem is resolved now. Do you feel that Windows Defender is an
effective anti-spyware tool?

Here's the fix

the good/bad news theory:

the bad news you computer is infected with the DNSChanger trojan. it is a virus infected malware that prevents login to the update servers. su

the good news is that just download or run a anti-malware program and run a scan then reboot and that should solve your problems

This error number for Windows Update means that you are infected with some sort of
malware. Read and implement the following


Suggest you scan the system for the presence of Vundo. If the Windows
Malicious Software Tool is not installed nor scanned the system recently,
then suggest you first utilize it and see if it detects and removes Vundo.


Tools that can fix the problem would be:
-SUPERAntiSpyware (SAS)
-Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM)
-Windows Live OneCare (WLOC)
-Windows Malicious Software Tool (WMRT)
-WindowsDefender (WD)

A very good antimalware app is SUPERAntiSpyware.
There is a free version (on demand scanning only), the paid for version
includes active monitoring, similar to Windows defender:

You have much more work to do (cf.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:

2. Run this online scan (in safe mode w/networking, if need be):

I am getting the same error message (80244019) when I try to use Windows
Update or Defender Update on my personal Vista (32bit) PC. I am using a
Linksys WRT310N router and have found that I can run the update
successfully when I bypass the router. As this is my own personal PC, I
don't use SUS or Sensage. I have configured my router to do some port
forwarding for the WoW Blizzard downloader and I have just updated my
router's firmware to the latest version available from Linksys but I
still get the error. I have also tried reinstalling the O/S using both
the factory image and the restore discs sent by HP. Interestingly enough
this problem started after I restored my PC using the factory image to
resolve a problem with a registry cleaner program that had become stuck
in a loop.

I have checked my registry entries and I do not have the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win
dows\WindowsUpdate\AU] posted above by SM4K. The choices under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\ are as follows
:

\CurrentVersion
\DriverSearching
\IPSec
\Network Connections
\safer
\System

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
