...it found some viruses apparrently! and fixed them? ...By the way it supposedly removed the viruses but I still cant get MS help from control panel...
Yeah, that's what i thought. You may still have several viruses undetected. Try doing more free online virus scans using IE after you reinstall Windows. If you have not already reinstalled, i'd suggest moving anything you have in the Shared Documents folder to another folder, as the files in this folder will be deleted. Also, you will have to reinstall at least some of your programs, and you will have to reactivate Windows immediately after reinstalling.
I think you mean that you were trying to open Windows Update in the Control Panel. Try clicking Switch to Classic View in the left hand side of Control Panel and you will see what i mean.
Let us know if you need more help.
