Im starting a new thread because I inadvertantly hi-jacked somone else's.
Im using Win XP Home (32bit) SP3.
Im getting the above error upon trying to access the 'Microsoft Update'
site. I had the W32.IRCbot trojan recently, but all that scans Ive done
(Ad-aware, Norton Antivirus, Spybot S&D, Windows Malicious Software Removal
Tool, McAfee Stinger, Trend Micro House Call, Windows defender, and the
Windows Live 'Protection' scan.) reply thats there's no infections.
I did update to IE8, it was after this I found the problem, but Im back on
IE7 now.
The 'Automatic Updates' box has all the options greyed out and I cannot
start the 'Automatic Updates' service. Trying gives me "Error 2, the system
cannot find the specified file". I downloaded the Windows Updata Agent 30,
but running it gives me the same error as visiting the update page.
If anyone can help out, I'd be gratefull.
