Suggest you disable Spybot's Immunize and both of the Resident protections, *one at a time*, to see which one is the possible culprit.

From: Carlos on 8 Oct 2009 20:07 Hi! I'm not an expert but i think that the problem is in the Windos update agent 7.4.7600.226. It was just after this update that the problem became. I use SpyBot for on demand scan only. My real time protection is Windows defender and EAV4. Carlos "MowGreen" wrote: > > spybot > > The above is the most likely cause of the error.

From: MowGreen on 9 Oct 2009 15:11 Download the latest release of the Windows Update Agent and *save* it: http://download.windowsupdate.com/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/7.4.7600.226/windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe Once the download completes, Clean boot XP: How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 Use Method 2 Once the system is in a clean boot state, Stop the Automatic Update service. Check to see if BITS [Background Intelligent Transfer Service] is has been started. If it has, stop that, too. Now install windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe and restart afterwards to the clean boot state. *** Can the system check for updates while still in the clean boot state ? *** If it can, undo the clean boot steps, boot to normal windows mode. *** Can the system check for updates while in normal windows mode ? *** If it can, then a *3rd party software* was preventing the proper installation of the Windows Update Agent.

I tried the following method posted on a similar thread by 'Gothika' on 10/16/09 to cure the Update problem, AND IT WORKED!! Even after many frustrating and unsuccessful back and forth email exchanges with MS Support on this problem. And none of the other solutions that I found worked either, except for the method described below. Thank goodness for this forum!! Rather than using the Start/Run box, I opened the cmd box, changed the directory to C:\windows\system32, and then typed the various dll commands. Thanks, Gothika!!!!!! Toby -- nlavery The solution that worked for me follows.......... Hi, With the help of MS support I had to re-register some dll's and that fixed my issue. You may want to try this as well. Click START|RUN and enter each dll to register. You'll get a message that the registration succeeded. (created a .bat file, which made it easier to register them) Type --> REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL REGSVR32 QMGR.DLL REGSVR32 QMGRPRXY.DLL REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL "mabu16" wrote: > Hi. > > Windows XP Pro SP3 > > When I go to "Microsoft Update" > (http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=de) via > IE8 I see "Activate Automatic Updates" as if the service is not running.
