WindowsUpdate_8024402F error after reimaging

Hello, TechSpot Community.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the following error code WindowsUpdate_8024402F

I have re-imaged my computer, and ever since, the windows update agent has not worked properly. I have not been able to update my OS in some time now. I have tried disabling antivirus, firewall, etc.

My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit, service pack 2 (I actually had to download it manually and install it).

Please point me in the right direction, if you could.

Thank you very much.
 
Hello, Archean.

I do not know what helped the most, if the SFC scan, or the Windows Live OneCare; but it took care of the problem.

I am running avast.

Thank you for your reply, though.
