automatic update suddenly off???

[Peterwolfe]

Got a message after having started up the PC that my automatic updates were off which is strange/queer because yesterday there was no problem. Not able to start after following the advise to put it to automatic in the services.msc section. Runtime error....?

Have: XP SP3, IE70, 4.2Gb asus, 2Gb RAM, Sygate, AVG 8.0, Superantispyware, Spybot

According to these defences the machine is clean...even HiJackThis is "clean" dont see any "suspect" posts there either...but I have the feeling that something is wrong....started the PC a couple of times with F8 and last ok configuration, but that warningicon is still there

Debug says: JScript - Windows Script block and external.ExecuteSelectionMenuItem('Start')

From Java Sun: Verified Java Version
Congratulations!
You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 7).

oooooooooooops, no not Britney Spears but a bugger called Vundo and I really dont get it that it passed all my defences...incredible, but well, Superantispyware came up with it and after removing a new check said clean....as it said before..bah...sorry guys and gals...and suggestions how to make that stuff impossible with all my so-called GREAT defences???
