Title: automatic updates turning of automatically
Post by: mnkypprs on July 02, 2008, 03:49:12 PM

Windows XP automatic updates is turning off automatically. I get a message, please turn automatic updates on manually. I do so, and it changes for a few seconds, then turns off again. No viruses.  ???

Thanks for the intended help.

I installed Microsoft LiveCare and it found a trojan and removed the problem.

Thanks again

copy and paste your log here  - then analyze

Please, do NOT advice anyone to analyze HJT log by themselves! It's dangerous!
