Re: MS error code 0x80072EE7

 

This error code translates to ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT. This could be caused by

firewall software blocking the Windows Update Site.

 

You may receive an "Error 0x80072EE2," "Error 0x80072EE7," "Error 0x80072EFD," "Error

0x80072F76," or "Error 0x80072F78" error message when you try to use the Windows Update

Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941

 

When searching for available updates on the Update site, you see the 0x80072EE7 error

Open your Local Area Connection via Network Connections in Control

Panel, then click Properties.

Click on TCP/IP, click Properties.

Make sure that "Obtain an IP address Automatically" is selected

Make sure that "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is selected.

 

If already marked as such and no joy, then see if the system can access

this page: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic76554.html

 

If yes, then follow Steps 1 - 11 to run FixWareout.exe

Please post the 'report.txt' as described in Step 11 so that we can see

if the system was infected or still is.
