Hello ozzman650,

The symptoms you describe indicate that a malware known as
Vundo\Virtumonde is resident. Using Internet Explºrer, have the system
scanned here: <http://onecare.live.com/site/en-au/center/howsafe.htm>

Several posters in this newsgroup have reported that the malware was
successfully removed using the above scanner.

You can use google to find it if the OneCare scan doesn't remºve it.


Others have used SUPERAntiSpyware and/or Malwarebytes Antimalware to remove
the malware

There is a free version (on demand scanning only), the paid for version
includes active monitoring, similar tº Windows defender:
<http://www.superantispyware.com/>

Also free, Malwarebytes Antimalware <http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php>

Also I would suggest running a HijackThis to to ensure that Vundo did not
bring along any uninvited guests. (SDBot and ZLOB, all protected by a
rootkit.)
Please read this guide before actually doing the procedure
And it has all of the links for downloads you need.

If, the system is clean of malware, then read on:

"Could not start the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service. Error 1058"
error message when you manually start the Remote Procedure Call service
Source:
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838428>

You cannot manually start the Automatic Updates service and you receive
an "Error 1058" error message on a computer that is running Windows XP
or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
Source:
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896224>


This will give you a starting point for your troubleshooting anyway.

Please let us know if the problem remains

I Have Windows XP and Automatic Updates disabled itself and I can't get it
turned back on.
These are the steps I took to turn it on:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, double-click on Automatic Updates and then click
Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply.
5. Verify that the Service status is started, if the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button

the problem is everytime i hit start a error message stating: Error 1058 The
service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no
enabled devices associated with it.

Could you please tell me what i am doing wrong or how to fix this
