    For some reason or another my windows update automatic is turn off adn will not turn back on. I've tried many diffrent things to turn it back on but nothing has worked. whenever i go to the secerity center and try to turn it back on nothing happens. I think maybe i've contacted a virus but i've done virus scans, spyware and adware scans and found nothing. I even went to the microsoft windows update page to download updates manuallly and it read..."The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem." Can someone please help!!!!!!!

    It is probobly caused by an advanced bit of malware. You can try malwarebytes anti-malware (the free version) which is a very good piece of software for removing malware. If that fails youcan try and use Combofix which is an advanced and risky bit of software (back stuff up first) You might not be able to get windows recovery console because of the lack ofwindows update but you will have to do without. if that fails its time to reformat and start from scratch.
