MS Auto Updates Disabled


Recommended Posts

I had the Antivirus 2010 problem a few months back and this forum was very helpful to remove it. Thank you! Thank you!

Now I have something similar with popups that cancels out mbab (had to rename per posts here) and MS Malicious Software tool won't run, and Windows Update can't run because the Automatic Updates won't stay Automatic.

I've run Malwarebytes in and out of Safe mode and after every reboot it still finds something. I've deleted .tmp files manually, and IE locked up when I tried to delete cookes.

If you have time to give me some pointers, I'd be quite appreciative, as I'm growing wary of searches and reading posts that differ slightly from my particular problem. So I've registered to ask directly a question that may have been answered already.

I'm typing from the one computer in the house (mine) that runs ubuntu... the other 2 Windows notebooks are afflicted.

Thanks in advance for your help,

CHAD

Well, krud. First post and I messed it up. Could a mod please delete: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=30556 that I posted in the wrong forum. Thank you, and I'm sorry about that.

Anyway,

P.S. I just reran Malwarebytes and it found "Disabled.SecurityCenter Registry Data HKEY_...\UpdatesDisableNotify"
