Windows automatic update getting disabled on startup

In my Windows security settings, the Automatic updates tab is going off even
if I set it ON manytimes. Subsequently an anti virus ( which changes it's
name time to time like Anivirus 2009 etc) opens up to window warning me that
there are 40 viruses in My Pc and to run their anti virus SW to remove them ,
the SW costs 49 USD. how to get rid of them, I have Kaspersky 2009 Anti virus
installed in my PC.

Your computer is infected. Removal instructions are here:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malw...antivirus-2009

Quite frankly, given that you managed to let your computer become
infected despite the presence of an excellent antivirus program, you
should not attempt removal. Leave that to a professional.

Thank you for your quick reply Mr Leonard,
I did not load the program .The pop up trouble loads on it's own. However
the Kaspersky 2009 anti virus should block this if it is a good one ( I
update it regularly )rather than allowing it to load and remove on a scan.

Could you please suggest something to stop the Automatic updates tab is
going off

Thanks

The pop-up loads on its own because your computer is infected. It is to
your credit that resisted installing the program.

You system is infected with Malware. Kaspersky is an antivirus program they
are two different things. Use my Remove-it software, it will remove that
malware from your system. Choose yes for all options when prompted. Download
it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm. After running
Remove-it if your auto update tab is still not working then post back and
let me know I have another tool to fix that.

Keep very far away from anything recommended by pcbutts. This malicious
troll is well-known for malware, obscenity and pornography. Because this
is an unmoderated public newsgroup, it's virtually impossible to ban
posts from pcbutts. The most we can do is to warn anyone who crosses his
path.

Leonard Grey is a troll who cannot fix your system. He is jealous of the
fact that I can. He can't prove what he says about me and my software
because it is not true. The guy is an idiot. If you tell him the sky is
purple he will believe it because he is too stupid to look up.

To every one who sees this message.
Please do not go through the link provided by Leonard Grey, to fix this malware (Antivirus 2009 or what ever it is...) I don't have any solution for now but don't go through with this guy, you will be in more trouble.

Hey Leonard Grey,
I don't know who you are... But I took your steps to remove the malware from my system, when my automatic updates got disabled. But to my surprise you turned out be another malware. your mbam-setup.exe said that it had removed 41 infected files but when I rebooted my laptop, it started to ignore my login credentials. I had to call the Lenovo custmoer support to fix my system.


Thanks !
-Madhu

I did not recommend anything called mbam-setup.exe. I don't even know
what that is.

This one?

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com...mbam-setup.exe

It is the real deal, sorry you had problems with it (if indeed it was
caused by this program).

You should direct your anger at them, not Leonard or anyone else
that recommmends them. If there is a known issue and a fix for it,
they would know.

There is nothing wrong with the link or procedures therein which Leonard
posted:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malw...antivirus-2009

There is nothing wrong with MBAM or using it. However, MBAM very often does
not/cannot remove all infectors associated with XP Antivirus 2009. If you'd
read the *rest* of the instructions on that page, you would have seen:
