Windows update error 0X8DDD0018

Recently my automatic update got turning off and I can't turn it back on
again. When I manully connect to MS site to do update and it return the
0X8DDD0018 error number and said one of the services has problem. (automatic
update) I followed the instruction to run the serivce.msc to start the
automatic update service and it showed that some devices didn't allow me to
do it.

What should I do to solve this problem? Any one can land me a hand?

Thank you,

Hi, Engel,

Thank you for your help. I spent whole night last night trying to fix the
problem without any result. This morning I following your link to download
the SuperAntiSpyware. After running the scan and deleting the Vundo and other
stuff, I ran the Windows update without any problem.

Thank you again,
