windows update succeeded then stopped working, even when I've tried these options: ctrlpnl/winupdts.

[AWS]

windows update worked fine until just after this update 12 days ago, I've visited H&S and tried most of the 'solutions' . And for the past few days most of the error codes are x8000FFFF.

The following update was my last successful install. I've visited the LinkId's; KB's; Forums; and the problems increase exponentially while the solutions have declined. Have I been attacked and hacked. I installed AVG 2013 trial nearly three weeks ago and

the program acts like it can't or won't do as advertised. I was seriously considering buying AVG now that I finally got my monthly funds. But if  have to buy an A-V, I sure don't want one that isn't protecting my comp. My firewall settings are about as tight

as I (in my limited user knowledge) get it. Still something is seriously faulty. And want to submit my product installation #'s but have lost them. I didn't intend to go this length of time w/o activation. Now I don't know what do. I can purchase another key

but only am able to pay for it over at least two pay periods. the catch is the funds are monthly and gone within the first 10 to 15 days. $ 700 doesn't go far anymore.

 

HELP!!!
