    Go here: Microsoft Malware Protection Center
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/default.aspx

    In the right frame under ' Latest Definition Updates ', click the
    appropriate link for the Version of Vista installed and SAVE the
    definitions.
    Close the browser and any other open programs.
    Right click mpas-fe.exe [or, mpas-fex64.exe] and choose 'Run as
    administrator', follow any UAC prompts.
    Did that get it installed ?

    Windows Update error 8024001b
    http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...182391033.mspx

    Usually indicates that Windows Update itself is being updated and/or
    installed. This could take several minutes - suggest you try installing
    updates later.

    If you receive Windows Update error 8024001b while trying to install
    updates, an update for Windows Update itself is being installed. Depending
    on how many programs are currently running and which operating system files
    or folders are affected while this update is being installed, it might take
    several minutes before you can install other updates for your computer. Try
    installing updates again later.

    If the problem persists after you try installing updates later, go to the
    Windows Update Support Center (
    http://support.microsoft.com/common/...h=1&gprid=6527 )
    website to request support by e-mail.
