80244019 error codecant update!!! any link to download microsoft update is not working.what else I can do?

Is your computer part of a domain?

This error code indicates that your computer can't reach the update server; more information is available here .-Alex

Ken - There's been some mention of IE 8's security causing problems with Windows Update. Specifically it had to do with Protected Mode being turned on. Try turning it off and updating again...

I'm having the same problem. Can't do windows update, and can't download the zune software. I get a failed to connect error in my browser. In mozilla or IE.

Everybody - Ronnie Vernon, MVP just posted a link to this KB articleon another thread that may address the issues you're having. Hope this helps...

No. That's not it.Ican do anything, searching/browsing website, play online games, and stuff. But I cannot update windows or even some anti virus programs.However, I believe that the cause of the issue is the TROJAN. I did run some anti malware scans and here what I found "Trojan_DNS Changer".Registry Data Items Infected:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DhcpNameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger) -> Data: 85.255.116.86 85.255.112.82 -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{4a7c2575-af94-48ac-8243-8323f3b92388}\DhcpNameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger) -> Data: 85.255.116.86 85.255.112.82 -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DhcpNameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger) -> Data: 85.255.116.86 85.255.112.82 -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{4a7c2575-af94-48ac-8243-8323f3b92388}\DhcpNameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger) -> Data: 85.255.116.86 85.255.112.82 -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DhcpNameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger) -> Data: 85.255.116.86 85.255.112.82 -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{4a7c2575-af94-48ac-8243-8323f3b92388}\DhcpNameServer (Trojan.DNSChanger) -> Data: 85.255.116.86 85.255.112.82 -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.Quarantined and deleted successfully??? yea, they all coming back after I reboot it.What else I can do?

Ken - Hmm.. Sounds like you've got something else running that's restoring those items being removed. Typical viral/trojan/malware behavior. You may want to do a full, deep scan of the hard drive with a good antivirus product. You may also want to try a root kit revealer if that doesn't work. Deleting a registry entry or two won't cure the problem - just a symptom. You need to find the EXE behind that and remove it as well.You may want to try using another computer to download the AV installer and transfer the file by way of a flash drive, burnable CD or an external hard drive. Make sure you've got AutoPlay/AutoRun turned OFF on the machine. If you're unable to get an AV product installed, your options would be two-fold. 1.) Remove the hard drive from the machine and scan it from another computer that has AutoRun/AutoPlay turned OFF. While this may seem to be a bit extreme, and it's a royal pain in the backside, malware has a hard time affecting a system if you haven't booted from the affected drive.2.) As a last resort, carefully backup your data files, then wipe out everything on the hard drive, and reinstall Windows 7. The first thing you should do after this would be to visit Windows Update, get all hardware updates available. The 2nd would be to download and install a good, competent Antivirus product. The 3rd thing would be to reinstall your anti-malware app. By the way, you DID download the ISO for Windows 7 from the official Microsoft web site - right? There was some mention of how ISOs being passed around by way of torrents being "preinfected" with some nasty bits and how they were noticing a botnet emerging. IF you did download the ISO by way of torrent (and I'm not accusing you of doing that), I would highly suggest tossing the disc and grabbing a clean copy from the official site before reinstalling.

Thank you, it sounds like I have to do the painful way.A good Antivirus product wont do a thing ifit cannot be updated. Now, only free edition can be updated like avast, avg...andYes, I did downloadit from microsoftOFFICIAL website.Ken

KenZolo,You might try removing the Trojan. There's an article briefly explaining it herewith a link to a removal procedure. Try it out before going the extra mile.Let us know how it goes...

Ken - A trial version of most AV products should give you at least 15 to 30 days worth of updates. And Ken, the only reason I mentioned the torrent bit - if that is where the ISO came from and it was infected with who knows what - reinstalling from that disk would obviously put you right back to square one... Good luck either way...! Let us know how it turns out..!
