@Doc ...... you slay me. lol

@yrag ..... Clicked on the link and it took me to the MS support page. Recommended I download and install Fix-it Cleaner. Did that and at first it worked. Fixed some issues but ... to fix remaining issues, the original problem, Pay this amount. Screw that! I uninstalled it and got rid of it. Then I ran my maintenance utilities, Malware Bytes, CCleaner, Glary Utilities. I figured one of them was gonna find it. After all that I went to system restore and took it back to before I installed Fix-it Cleaner .... to yesterday. To make a short story even shorter my stuff worked along with the restore. Updates are back up and running. Downloading updates now. The readiness tool is among them. Thank you yrag for the link. it was still helpful and Doc ...... lol.

Glad it was fixed... can't help but wonder if it was a virus that caused it, and removing it just didn't return things to the way they were before.

There is a utility (tiny) which does that. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-fix-windows-updates-with-fix-wu-utility

There's also:  http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-fix-windows-7-vista-problems-with-fixwin-utility

Update ..... three updates I think are corrupt. KB2633873, KB2640148 and KB2607675. There were other updates with them that installed without a problem. Also ... there is another thread with some one having the same problem with his browser.

How to fix that kind of thing:

If you tried the utility I posted for you and that didn't work, then look here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/corrupted-windows-7-update-file/5389510b-8c73-412f-8760-7db61f388b1f

How do I reset Windows Update components?

To have us reset the Windows Update components for you, go to the "Diagnose using automated troubleshooter" section. To reset the Windows Update settings yourself, go to the "Let me fix it myself" section.

Uvah, this is what you are supposed to download. It is not called "Fix IT Cleaner". I do not know what you downloaded but there is no charge, ever, for Microsoft "Fix-It" solutions. Sounds like you have some sort of malware redirecting your browser.

@Frankief ...... Went that route already, its where I got that Fix-it Cleaner from. I think you're right about being redirected though. I installed and ran that repair tool, in fact I still have it. Also they gave me FixWU and FixWin, both from MS. So far nothing has worked. That's why I think they're corrupt. There were other updates that installed with no problem. Is there a way to delete these three?

No....they're not. I have no idea what the hell you're doing, but whatever it is, it's wrong.

Pick one at the bottom and run it.

If what yrag said to do doesn't work.

Downloaded the Readiness tool and got this. That same tool was one of the updates and it installed successfully.

I have had that problem before Uvah I just downloaded the individual updates and run them  and they installed fine links are below

KB2633873 Standalone installer - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28881


KB2640148 Standalone installer - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28456


KB2607675 Standalone installer - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27788

Update # 2 .....

Went to the MS download site and downloaded KB2633873. This time it installed without a problem. Why it wouldn't install the regular way is beyond me. There is still one more, KB2633870, downloaded and installed successfully. Hope I'm done.

The only one that is for my machine is the first. Reason the others did not install is because they are for x86 systems not x64. My updates are complete. Thanks yrag, Frankief, Disturbed Computer and of course good ole DrJBHL.

BTW ... one of them was UGH! IE9. Did it and done.

What were you using?

I use Firefox, sometimes Chrome. I never use IE but the one on my machine was IE8. Now its IE9. One of the tools was for resetting IE to the default settings. That worked but made no difference. That's the part I don't understand. Both browsers having the same problem. I can understand one but not both. Did you check out the other thread?
