windows security center

[Guest]

for some time now (not sure how long exactly) every time i turn on my pc i
get a pop up from my toolbar saying that windows security center automatic
updates are turned off. when i click on the bubble to turn them on, it says
that it can't and need to access it via the control panel. great! methink and
i go swannig off to the control panel to turn them on. once i get there it
tells me again that it cant turn the automatic updates on and i need to do it
through 'system' in control panel. i go to system and it says that automatic
updates are on! and they are downloading and installing at 1500 each day.
yeah right!

yet every time i turn on, i get the same message. it now is becoming boring
and annoying and was wanting to know if somebody with much much more computer
brain capacity than i can help me resolve this problem.

thanks in anticipation

Try this:
Open a Run Command and type:
services.msc click [OK] on the services window scroll down and see if
Windows Update engine is Enabled by Right/clicking on it and select
Properties and set it to Automatic click [OK] and close the Services window
then Reboot and see if your issue gone.
But be sure your system is clean from malwares/Viruses by scaning.
HTH.

firewall.
Also right click your connection and select Properties on the Connection
Properties Click on Advanced and check the Check box to Enable the Firewall
for this connection.
2- See these Keys do you have and what Value been set there, to that Opne a
run command and type:
regedit.exe click [OK]
On the Registry Editor locate these Keys and send them here if none of the
solution been mentioned was successful.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services\SharedAccess +
Look in the Right Pane/Window and you will see entries like these:
[ab](Default) REG_SZ (Value not set)

[ab]ObjectName REG_SZ LocalSystem
[on]Start REG_DOWRD 0x00000002 (2)
[on]Type REG_DWORD 0x00000020 (32)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Security center =
What your settings there look like.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Security center=
