Re: WindowsUpdate_80244019 Help

You do realize that

1) the post in the thread you are replying to is a MONTH old
2) running Spybot only removed one *symptom* of a malware infection

You need to either have someone who is technically 'aware' peruse the system or, visit a reputable anti-malware forum to ensure the system gets cleaned up properly.
Otherwise the 'DNSChanger trojan' will reappear along with some of it's
"buddies":
