http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Windows-Update-error-8024400a-8024400d-or-8024400e

If you receive Windows Update error 8024400a, 8024400d, or 8024400e while checking for updates, it might be caused by a connection interruption between your computer and the Windows Update servers. Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. You can also wait for Windows Update to run at its next scheduled time.

The Windows Update Troubleshooter fixes some problems with Windows Update, and it might resolve this error for you.

If the troubleshooter doesn't work, try the following steps.

For more information about Internet connection problems, see Why can’t I connect to the Internet?

If you still receive this error after checking your Internet connection, it might mean that a program running on your computer is preventing Windows Update Services from accessing the Internet. Programs that might do this include firewalls, antispyware software, web accelerators, Internet security or antivirus programs, or proxy servers.

For steps you can take to fix this problem, see this article about connection-related update errors on the Microsoft website.

    Going by recent posts in the Windows  Update forum,  been associated with the presence of malware on

    systems that can not update. Suggest you go here, rəad  the instructions, and run Kaspersky's TDSSKiller to see if the  malware is resident and can be successfully removed -

    Have your system scanned by the  installed anti-virus/security suite.

    A very good anti-malware app are  SUPERAntiSpyware (SAS)  and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM)  and running it to catch anything that Kaspersky might miss.

    Download, install, update, and run  scans with both of these free anti-malware tools:

    The recommendation is to use the intelligent quick scan routinely, and do  full scans either on a longer periodicity--weekly, monthly--or only  when something is found or you have some rəason for suspicion.

    Download, install, update, and run scans with both of these  free anti-malware tools:
