When I try and finalize the installation of the Windows Update in order to
use for updates to my 2K Server OS, i get the following error code:
0x8007041D
According to the knowledge base, this is due to running an older version of
NOD32. I am running Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition and have disabled the
real time protection option, and yet I continue to receive the abovementioned
error, thereby not being able to use windows update. Any suggestions for
resolutions?
Thanks

Some additional information on this error from Torgeir, Microsoft MVP

First, verify that the "COM+ Event System" service is not disabled or not
functioning:

Press Start and Run, and then run this command:
services.msc

Locate the "COM+ Event System" entry, and double click on it. Startup type should be
set to "Manual", and if the service is not already running, press the Start button to
see if it starts successfully.

If the steps above where ok, see if the steps in this previous post fixes the problem
(applies to WinXP as well):
