Automatic Updates won't turn on
Marilyn,
* Right * click the My Computer icon, either on the Desktop or the Start Menu, and choose Manage In the left frame, click the plus sign next to Services and Applications Click on Services to highlight it In the right frame locate Automatic Updates Click on it Now click the Start the service link just to the left. Did the service start ... was there an Error 1508 ? IF the service can start, then click Apply, OK and close the services console. IF not and the 1508 error came up, then that's a strong indication that the system is infested with a malware known as Vundo/Virtumonde. If that's the case then suggest you seek assistance at a reputable anti-malware forum. Please read the guideline of the forum of your choice prior to posting the http://www.atribune.org/forums/index.php?showforum=9 http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30 http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum22.html http://castlecops.com/forum67.html http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cleanup http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/...splay.php?f=25 http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Malwa..._Here-f37.html http://gladiator-antivirus.com/forum...?showforum=170 http://spywarewarrior.com/viewforum.php?f=5 After the system is cleaned up, if the AU service still won't function, then go he http://www.codeplex.com/aureset/Rele...eleaseId=13656 Download the AU|WU Reset Tool from the link on the bottom of the above page and save it. After the download completes, close all open programs and browsers. Now run au_client_toolv77a_redist.exe Restart the system. AU should now be running.
