Hi Steve, you forgot to mention what OS you're using including the SP level.

FYI - 0x80070437 (Win XP)
Error Different Service Account

1. Click Start, Select Run, and type in: services.msc
2. Double-click on the Automatic Updates service.
3. Click the Log On tab.
4. Check Log On as Local System Account.
5. Click Apply and OK.
6. Right-click on the Automatic Updates service and click Start.

Also check the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) and the Event
Log Service to make sure they are Log On as Local System Account

If that worked - you'd be best served to also do these things:

Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan (separately) with the
following two applications (freeware versions are the ones to use for this):

SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/

MalwareBytes
http://www.malwarebytes.com/

After performing a full scan with one and then the other and removing
whatever they both find completely, you may uninstall these products,
if you wish.

Download and run the MSRT manually:

Reboot.

Something caused your problem - do you know what and if it is gone? ;-)
