I was helping someone with their Pc (XP SP3) and ran Malwarebytes, which found about 6 or 8 virii/trojans/malware. I didn’t record which ones, I just had Malwarebytes remove them.
After the re=boot (requested by Malwarebytes) to do the final cleanup, the “Microsoft Security center” alert shield shows ion the lower right in the tray. It indicates that the Windows updates are turned off, if i right click it. If I go to the security center it indicates that Updates are turned off.
However if I go to system via control panel it shows that automatic updates are turned on.
Is the warning a result of Windows being mixed up to the virii removal done by Malwarebytes or is this a sign that the Security Center alert is just a virus trying to get reinstalled. The alert looks real.
Subsequent scans haven’t found anything (Malwarebytes, Kasperskey (done in safe mode), and AVG) scans.
