At least now I know that I'm not the only one having the same problem
installing the important updates.

I've got about 16 of those messages so far today.

Eight from automatic update failures and eight from updates that I tried to
do manually.

Looks like maybe A LOT of us may need help with the same non-updateable
updates.

Sorry that I can't help.

Hope that somebody can very soon.

There is a very good chance are that you are seeing the affects of a
hijackware infection.

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

2. Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan (only!) in Safe
Mode with Networking, if need be:
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the requested
logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

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.
