    Resolved [RESOLVED] Removed virus did some damage

    Thanks to Broni for helping me in the other forum, my issue doesn't have a security issue related problem. But what I got rid of before (virus) I came here for help because it damaged something on my computer and I need to figure out how to fix this.

    I'm running Vista on my laptop, 32-bit SP1. Note- I haven't done MS Updates in a while.

    As of now, the problems I'm having that I'm aware of are the following:

    -iTunes can not connect to the store. When I tried to download a more recent version 9.2 to 9.3, iTunes just locks up my computer now when I open it, and I am forced to shut down manually.

    -Non of my AV programs will update, I have Avast as my active, and mbam and SuperAntiSpyware as my other programs. I do get error codes for mbam and superanti, if you want to look at them I'll post it.

    -Windows Update gives me error: Code 80072EDF (I have googled this error but can't seem to match it the causes, solutions, etc to my problem)

    -Safari and IE can not connect to the internet. (I do not use IE anymore so it's outdated big time, but I never open it so no use in updating)

    That's all I'm aware of at the moment, I tried to Google each of these problems individually, but still can't figure this out! I have came to a possible conclusion, the virus may have got to some vulnerabilities from some outdated software I have, (Java, Adobe Acrobat, etc) and messed up something from there. Not sure! Also, I'm curious if I restoring to a date before, can fix it?
