    I noticed a few days ago that windows (vista) would no longer update. I tried "Windows Update" under the start menu and got a error code 8072EFE.

    My computer runs daily updates and scans with Avira, nothing found.
    Ran Malwarebytes' and found 1 infected file:
    C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\1982.tmp (Rootkit.TDSS.Gen) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

    Still get error code 8072EFE when trying to update. When I go to "http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/" I get "The connection was reset."

    Joe, you don't get rid of a rootkit that easily! We don't use HijackThis to screen for malware and update problems are common with malware.

    I'd like to see the Malwarebytes log and if you would like us to check the system for malware, please follow the steps in the Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal thread HERE.

    When you have finished, please paste the logs in review in your next reply . You can split them if they can't all be put into one post.

    I recommend that you remove Advanced SystemCare. Neither the program nor the site itself are considered good to have on a system.

    Please do not use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you, unless I direct you to. Do not use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
