Re: windows update will not run

Use my Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from your system. Choose yes for all options when prompted. Download it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm When done from the same site download Microsoft's Automatic Update Repair Tool to fix your auto update issue.

Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.
He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.
He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.
As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.

Windows update will not run
Run services.msc
Check Background Intelligent Transfer Service running - OK
Check Event Log running - ok

Automatic Updates is disabled and it's start button is greyed out
Setting the combo to Automatic (or manual) it reverts to disabled

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

the sample #1]"
I found a program named molocha.exe
AND a copy of it
in C:\Windows & Documents and Settings .. . \Temp
CREATED DATE today !!

Deleted the registry entry
"[filename of the sample #1 without extension] =
"%Windir%\[filename of the sample #1]" " for this file

AND, after reboot, renamed the C:\windows instance to Xmolocha.exe
AND deleted it from Documents and Settings\ . . \Temp

----------
This has stopped the hijack of the web browser to MyWebHunt
BUT Internet explorer is occassionally opening new instances with seemingly
random websites.
--- HELP! ---
