Do you mean the *Operating System* was not Validated ?
If the answer is yes, then go here:

0x80244019 SUS_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_NOT_FOUND
Http status 407 - proxy authentication required
The above error message indicates that some 'thing' is blocking access
to the update servers. Antivirus software sometimes runs a proxy server
to check incoming emails.
You stated:
> I disconnected my antivirus software
What is the installed antivirus software and which Version is it ?
It 'sounds' as if the installed AV was *not* completely disabled.

The Malicious Software Removal Tool is replaced with a new version every month. The
one from Dec. 2007 has been superseded about 28 times. It's no surprise that it
isn't available now.
What is your point in quoting an ancient, irrelevant archived post with no added
content? If *you* are having a problem with the Malicious Software Removal Tool
start a new thread with *your* O/S info, *your* KB# and *your* error messages/codes.
