Try removing"unusual" auto-starting entries. You can use, among other
possible methods, either msconfig or autoruns (SysInternals) to accomplish
this.

I am also having the same exact issue and I know that the whole thing is
caused by spyware. The spyware issue is a whole other issue altogether, but
I get the same error message and cannot enable automatic updates. Hoping
someone will come along on this post and offer us a solution! HELP!

I have same problem. I think this is the Windows Security system problem
also, because Windows was attacted by spyware or virus then caused this
happened. I hope have update from Windows soon and can be downloaded by
manual.

hi i have also been having this problem , i used the avira antivirus
software it is great it scanned 1000's more files than avg and sorted out the
problem you can download it from avira.com and its free. when you have
finished the scan and deleted you infected files re run service.msc if you
dont know how to do this go to the microsoft update it will say it cant do
updates because the automatic updater is not working but gives instructions
to fix the problem. i hope this makes sense because it worked for me
