Re: ERROR 0x8DDD0018 is driving me MAD

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I thought I had that virus alright, and having been trying to remove it,
wasn't too sure if this was causing the AU problem, but now I suppose It's
back to the drawing board of making sure that virus is gone, tried the vundo
remove stuff but will try it again, its a bloody hard one to remove, any
hints on the best way to remove it, tried vundo fix and superanitspyware.

Thanks for the help,
Rob

Rob,

Please see my post to Julie. There has been a noticeable increase in the
0x8DDD0018 error code posts with some posts including Error 1058.
It very well may be that these systems have been infected by a malware
known as Vundo.
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Entry.aspx?name=Win32%2fVundo

After cleaning Vundo one then has to reset the
AU service and reinstall the Windows Update Agent [client].

Suggest you scan the system for the presence of Vundo. If the Windows
Malicious Software Tool is not installed nor scanned the system
recently, then suggest you first utilize it and see if it detects and
removes Vundo. Definitions for Vundo have been included in it since
March '08.

Reboot then reinstall the WU Agent - (ignore the title)

|I have been rabidly looking for solutions to this all day, to no avail. My
| automatic updates for windows randomly will not work anymore today.
|
| Here is what I have tried:
|
| - turning automatic updates on from the security center
| ((will not turn on))
|
| - trying to get updat0x8DDD0018es directly from microsoft site
| ((gives me the 0x8DDD0018 OR 0x80070422 error))
|
| - running "regsvr32 wuaueng.dll", "regsvr32 qmgr.dll" "regsvr32
| qmgrprxy.dll", then doing Start > Run and type in regedit, browsing to the
| key:
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv]
| and looking for a "DeleteFlag"
| ((was no such deleteflag entry for me))
|
| - running "regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll" and then making sure "Automatics
| updates service", "Background Intelligent Transfer Service", "Event Log" and
| "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator" are automatic and started.
| ((usually, everything but the automatic updates starts just fine. Somtimes
| automatic updates lets me make it automatic, but when I try to start it,
| gives me the error "1058" and won't start. Most of the time I try and set it

|
| So does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix this??
