Automatic update in Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

I have Windows XP Professional with Service Pck3 and I met a virus/malware I finally solved.  Now, my only problem is that my automatic updates of windows does not work.  I have the red shield with the X in the toolbar.  I tried to activate the automatic updates without success and have even tried to download updates manually.  When I try the manual download, I get a Web site problem message with error 0 X 80070424.  I need help to try to tackle this problem.  Thank you

These are the results.  I followed your links and even ran everything twice more than double control to make sure that I don't have an error somewhere in the process.  What's next?

(6) you must put spaces in... There are spaces.

%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
.. .is (phonetically?)...
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe/WUFORCE

I still say, "If you"solved"the problem of virus/malware in anything other than a wipe/regeneration - it may not be completely fixed or have still a few remaining damage that the probability of fixation is thin votes to zero.»  (In other words - I recommend a format/install). »

Not only did I always say this, I think you have discovered that it will probably be necessary.

You might be able to do something with SFC/scannow , or be Windows XP, possibly a repair install might fix things (if you have a Windows XP with the Service Pack 3 installation CD or can integrate a new installation CD for Windows XP SP3).

SPACE does the work.  I then restarted the update Windows components and then successfully downloaded and installed 9 security updates.

I understand the fact that you still recommend a format/install. Not having done it would be prudent to see how the operating system is running and if I have any further questions or you feel it is too risky on a computer used to pay bills and perform other necessary transactions. The computer is older and the cost may not be a return value.  I wait your answer before I post any other questions.  I thank you for your time and expertise.
