    unable to turn on windows automatic updates !!

    I am unable to turn on the Automatic updates.
    Recently tried to install an application, but this failed and i got a VIRUS
    ALERT.
    since then I have been unable to turn on the updates.

    I have followed help instructions regarding the running of services.misc but
    get error code 1058 when trying to start the application ....

    I would be grateful for any help

    thanks

    There's a very strong possibility that you have a Vundo infection, which is
    usually accompanied by ZLOB and/or SDBot infections, all of which are
    protected by a rootkit.

    Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
    to an appropriate forum.

    When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
    (http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
    conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
    its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
    hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
    http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachi...php?board=10.0,
    http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
    http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
    by an expert in such matters, not here.**

    If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
    isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
    independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

    <sic> if u uzed MBAM and no othur cleenup toolz then the system is
    *still* infeckted ... it's *much* safer to do a clean reinstallation of
    the OS then to partially cleen it up ... </sic>
