Judging from similar posts here in the past month or so, the behavior may be

due to a Vundo-ZLOB-SDBot infection, all of which is 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://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums 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.

Re: auto updates stopping

 

Check your pc for virus/malware/spyware.

Some virus can remove .dll or cause the auto update to stop functioning also

if your virus definition is out of date it can cause this

 

Remove those first then goto start - run - services.msc

check if the automatic updates is running if not

check if the bits service is running if not

 

download the latest auto update client and follow the guide to register the

..dll
