Hi,

I have noticed that my system must have a virus in Xp which disabled my automatic update.

Please help me with some solution.

Hello friends,

I must say that the problem is not going to be solved if the virus is there in your machine.
You can not make it update automatically unless you remove those threats from your machine is what i have experienced with my system.
I would rather suggest you to scan your system with a good & updated antivirus spy ware program.
I had used SuperAntiSpyware & it worked great for me.
I must recommend you the same product & it will solve your problem.
