Possibility:

For some people who get the error code: 80244019.

This here is a well known Trojan virus that called "DNSChanger". This can be occured by installing fake video-codec (like "totalvid"), it will permanently change your router settings so that you can never communicate with updaters (Avira, Spybot, Malwarebyte, Microsoft, etc...)

1. At first, you should change your password of your router configuration. (cmd>"ipconfig">copy the Default Gateway value>& paste it into the address bar, there u should be able to configurate your router)

2. Download some the LATEST Anti mal-/spyware. Try with Malwarebytes'.

3. Turn off your System Restore

4. Reboot your computer in Save Mode (without net)

5. Scan your PC completely

6. If the app is asking whether u restart your computer or delete these detected files, then click on ok, AND THEN u've to run quickly to your router and press the "reset" button with a pen or something else..

7. restart your PC normally and then u'll be able to consummate the update again. (at least your Anti-appz.) (Dont forget to turn on your system restore agein)

Also it could happen that your Windows-update registries were just deleted. If that so, visit this site: "selfnet.de/projekte_wsus.en.htm"

Or: If your WindowsUpdate/AU registry folder exists, change the UseWUServer-value from "1" to "0". It should resolve the problems simply.

hope this was a good advice for you.
