Any other pertinent details you could provide would be fantastic.

Operating System?
Service Pack level of said operating system?
What have you tried?
What antivirus application is now installed/has ever been installed?
What antispyware/antiadware applications are you/have you using/used?

0x800f0818 CBS_E_IDENTITY_MISMATCH container package points to a package
manifest whose identity doesn't match the identity specified

What Operating System and Service Pack level are you using?, and perhaps
what other antivirus or antimalware software you may have installed, Security
suite and firewall, etc. etc.

Which Windows Update are you referring to?

perhaps you can try a system file checker ?
Do you still have the Windows Vista media ? (CD or DVD ?) if so, jus
insert the media and type in a administrator command prompt: "sf
/scannow".

troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or o
Windows 7'
