Title: Windows Update Service
Post by: Spoiler on August 28, 2012, 07:31:38 AM
Hi All,
I have a machine, windows 7 64 bit home, that had a viruses in it. I was able to clean them out with malware bytes but it deleted the windows update service. I have scrolled down the list and its not there. I was trying to restart it so I could down load the lastest updates for the machine.

Anyone know of a fix for this?

Thanks

http://www.microsoft.com (http://www.microsoft.com) from here have you tried to manually install latest security updates? You should be able to re-enable auto updates in properties of my computer. If I had a Windows 7 machine in front of me, I'd point out where to get to it. If no one has responded by the time I get home from work, I will describe from my Windows 7 system. Im stuck behind Windows XP Pro right now. You might have to perform a Repair Install of 7 if the Virus really killed that service, that is if its enabled, but non functional!
