I had a similar problem and MS support gave me this
solution and it worked!
>I understand you are unable to install updates on your
system. The particular problem you are encountering
indicates that the database where Windows stores the
information on who is and is not trusted to install
programs on your machine has become corrupted and
unusable.
To correct this:
1. Close any windows you have open.
2. Click on Start, then My Computer
3. Open the C drive
4. Open the Windows folder
5. Open the System32 folder
6. Find the CatRoot2 folder and right-click on it, and
select RENAME. Change the name to CR2OLD. Make sure you
hit Enter after typing in the
new name, so the changes can be saved.
7. Close this window and try the Update site again.
If it works you can leave the renamed file with its new
name as it will not affect future operations.
Hope this sorts your problem for you. Cheers CSP.
