Re: Error 8DDD0018

Can the Automatic Update service be started ? If not and attempting to do so results in a 1058 error code, than the system is infected with malware. Using Internet Explorer, go here and have the system scanned:

If Vundo/Virtumonde/Zlob/and/or SDBot are detected, than you'll need futher assistance in getting the system cleaned up -

You should first try to run the System File Checker - http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html

If that doesn't resolve the issue, try this: http://www.wsuswiki.com/ProceduretomanuallyRe-InstallAutomaticUpdateClient

To open a Command Prompt go to Start > Run > type in cmd and then click OK or press Enter
Copy the command shown on the above page and then *right* click after the prompt, choose Paste, and then press Enter.

IF Automatic Updates still stays at Disabled then there is a serious issue going on. Either there's 2 software firewalls running at the same time, there is malware resident on the system, or you need to do a Repair Installation.

Ok, I've tried services.msc, BITS is started. Automatic Updates was
"Disabled". I make the "Automatic" - but when I hit "Apply" it usually
goes back to "Disabled".
On the infrequent occasions that it stays "Automatic", I then go START
and it gives me error 1058.
Next, I try "regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll" and I get the "Succeeded"
message. But stil no I still get error 0x8DDD0018.
Any ideas?
