I get Update errors when no update is due - sometimes won't close

I will get a window appearing stating that a Firefox update failed.. but when I check, I have the latest version.
Sometimes Firefox will not close, but runs in the background.. does not show as application in Task Manager.
I have to restart in order to resume browsing.
Additionally, Microsoft Security Essentials Virus definition KB2310138 (definition 1.165.3736.0) will not update with WindowsUpdate_80070002 Error. Updating definitions through MSE fail with connection failure.
I think the two problems are related.

I had an issue with my Win 7 Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows update
would download the upgrade, but the upgrade could not install. After many
hours of searching help sites and web search engines, I finally found out
what the problem was. Somehow, Windows lost the install information
file. And without those files.......<br>
Go to
'''''[http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled]'''''
and check it out. I ended up using the Fix-It program to manually remove
two programs called Microsoft Security Client. Don't forget to first download
the current Microsoft Security Essentials first.
