failure to install/update

As you now have a partial or damaged installation, your best bet would be to use the F-Secure Uninstallation Tool to completely remove your current version, and start again from scratch. Once you've completed the reinstall, come back to us if you still have the update issue, but my guess is it should be fine with a clean install.

OK, you said you "used the download from website which did the uninstall of the old version" - so, does that mean you haven't actually used the F-Secure Uninstallation Tool yet? If so, then I suggest that you do, as the basic removal that the downloaded installer does, isn't as thorough as the Uninstallation Tool.
If you have already used the Uninstall Tool, rebooted, reinstalled, and rebooted again, and still have the update issue, then, assuming you have no other conflicting security software on your machine, I think you will need to raise a Support Ticket, attaching an FSDIAG from the Support Tool, so that the tech guys can see what might be going on.
