…just to be clear…
I was updating just fine. I got curious and decided to check out the trial for SecureLine. As soon as it installed and activated… no more Windows updating.
This was with it connected and disconnected and seems to even be causing issues after using Avast Uninstall and ASWCLEAR.EXE.
Maybe its a WinUpdate doing the problems but this is the second time I chose to check out SecureLine (on the same day and why I have had to reinstall the OS more than once). The first time, I did from the git-ko and started getting the same error after my most recent attempt AFTER updating Windows.
That is why I feel it is being narrowed down to Avast SecureLine. Tomorrow’s ENTIRE re-installation will tell me how correct this hypothesis is. If I have no problems without installing SecureLine3 then it will definitely be the problem.
