Hi -
I have a system that I know has some sort of virus or is in some way
hijacked but I can't find the problem. The only way I know it is still
hijacked is that I can no longer access Windows updates. I can try through
control panel or by going directly to the site. Always says page cannot be
displayed.

This is a Windows XP Pro SP3 system. I've run full scans with Malwarebytes
and Avira. Have also run HijackThis and fixed anything that seemed
suspicious. This is the second system this has happened to me on. The last
one I gave up finally and just reinstalled the OS. Has anyone else
experienced the same problem and found a solution?

Thank you!!!!!

I should add to the note that I have tried system restore and it won't work.
Acts like it is going to restore then after the system restarts it says it
could not restore. Have tried it with multiple restore dates and none work.

I've also run everything in Safe Mode and same results.

Thanks again :)
