Auto updates error

[Guest countrygirl]

My icon says that my auto updates have been disabled. When I go to change it

the security center has the auto updates checked that they are in fact

enabled. I go to the security website and it checks to see if I'm running the

proper stuff and then I get a message saying... error 0x8DD0018, The site

cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services is not

running:Automatic Updates (allows the site to find, download and install

high-priority updates for your computer)

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) (helps updates download more

quickly and without problems if the download process is interrupted)

Event Log (keeps a record of updating activities to help with

troubleshooting, if needed)

To make sure these services are running:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type services.msc and then click OK.

3. In the list of services, double-click on Automatic Updates and then click

Properties.

4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply.

5. Verify that the Service status is started, if the Service Status is

Stopped click on the Start Button.

6. In the list of services, double-click on Background Intelligent Transfer

Service (BITS) and then click Properties.

7. In the Startup type list, select Manual and click Apply.

8. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is

Stopped click on the Start Button.

9. In the list of services, double-click on Event Log and then click

Properties.

10. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply.

11. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is

Stopped click on the Start Button.

 

I do all these things but it never kicks off of being disabled in the

services page. I sometimes get a error 1058 too, pertaining to this. Can

anyone assist me?

Re: Auto updates error

 

If neither of these KB articles resolve the issue then the system is

infected with malware. Most likely Vundo/Virtumonde/Zlob/SDbot or a

combination of them all.

 

You cannot manually start the Automatic Updates service and you receive

an "Error 1058" error message on a computer that is running Windows XP

or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896224

 

"Could not start the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service. Error 1058"

error message when you manually start the Remote Procedure Call service

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838428

 

If no joy, as a first step in disinfecting the system, use Internet

Explorer and go here: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

 

IF the OneCare scanner can not remove the malware suggest you post to a

reputable anti-malware forum:

First off, run disk clean up and a thorough scan for malware and viruses

then read the Info listed on the links below.

 

You may receive an error message that contains the "0x8DDD0018" code or the

"0x80246008" code when you try to download updates from the Microsoft Windows

Update Web site or from the Microsoft Update Web site

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910337

 

You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display

the requested page" error message when you try to install an update

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883614

 

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP

installation or you repair a Windows XP installation

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

 

Open a notepad and copy and paste the following into it and save as

update.bat on your desktop. Double click the bat file to excute and click

[Yes to register the dlls and reboot your machine and see if that will help!

 

regsvr32 wuweb.dll

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wups2.dll

Re: Auto updates error

 

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/simplemachinesforum/index.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.
