8002802b = Create_object_failed

Is Automatic Updates enabled and still working?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

NB: If you're seeing the effects of a hijackware infection, none of the
following will be worthwhile!...

Error message when you try to install updates from the Windows Update Web
site on a Windows XP-based computer: "Windows Update has encountered an
error and cannot display the requested page":

You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display
the requested page" error message when you try to install an update:

How do I reset Windows Update components?:

Dear Robear Dyer,

Automatic Updates is enabled.
Avast Antivirus Beta - is not the one in culprit, I tested that.
SUERAntispyware free edition - it's not working in real-time.
No third-party firewall.
I tried Norton and McAfee a very long time ago, just for testing purposes.
No other third-party installed software's are in culprit - I tested that
too.

Laurian

1a. Download the Norton Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop:
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/englis...moval_Tool.exe

1b. Download the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool, saving it to your
desktop:
http://download.mcafee.com/products/...tches/MCPR.exe

2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar).

3. Double-click on the file you saved in #1a above to run the utility. Don't
TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot.

4. Repeat Step #2.

5. Double-click on the file you saved in #1b above to run the utility. Don't
TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot.

Test.
