alazuria Posted August 10, 2012 ID:583094 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I was recently hit with tons of malware, trojans and other problems that attacked my registry, and I received help here but I still can't run windows updates because of a 80246008 error. I've searched threads and Google for possible solutions and none of them have worked for me.Most threads suggest changing settings for the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, but my BITS program is missing from the Services. I'm not even sure if this is the right thread to post something like this in.Any help would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alazuria Posted August 10, 2012 Author ID:583100 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thank you. Hitman pro did find some viruses and tracking cookies, but nothing too major. Removing the problems still didn't solve my Windows Update problem, so I may need professional help regarding this issue. Windows Vista forums as well as Microsoft are unhelpful.

CWB Posted August 10, 2012 ID:583144 Share Posted August 10, 2012 i am not sure if someone from here has told you to run "hitman pro" ... your second post would seem to indicate this .as was suggested here (by maurice naggar) : http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=113689&view=findpost&p=582710 ...you should PM him or one of the other moderators to re-open your case and/or give you further instructions on what to do .

Maurice Naggar Posted August 10, 2012 ID:583151 Share Posted August 10, 2012 @alazuriaDownload >> Farbar's Service Scanner utility << and Save to your Desktop.If using Windows 7 or Vista, Right-Click on fss.exe and select Run As Admisnitrator.If using XP, double-click to start.Answer Yes to ok when prompted.If your firewall then puts out a prompt, again, allow it to run.Once FSS is on-screen, be sure the following items are checkmarked:Internet ServicesWindows FirewallSystem RestoreSecurity Center/Action CenterWindows UpdateWindows DefenderClick on "Scan".It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.Copy & Paste contents of FSS.txt into your reply.

Maurice Naggar Posted August 10, 2012 ID:583336 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Do one more Windows Update. But when you get there, do a View Update History.Review today's items. Make sure the last Windows Defender Update finally was successful.And that the earlier items for Today also succeeded.That way we can rest easy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
