I had a rootkit issue in 8/12. I thought Tss Killer had taken care of it however, I just realized that the damage done by the virus still remains. I read what I could on restoring the update process and tried everything. I ran the Fixit dude many times,
no help at all. I read about recreating BITS and tried it but it does not seem to work. Update starts, says its downloading 70MB and then freezes, nothing happens, I've watched the processes and BITS is not running and update is not functioning. I managed
to get system restore points to work again.
I also just noticed my modem's power light was amber it's supposed to be green, so I reset it to the factory defaults. I run MS defender and security and a firewall utility set to medium, so that all outgoing requests have to be confirmed by me.
I read somewhere that a virus might block the port that win7 uses for updates, but I could not find the port.
I have a large system over 500GB of programs and data, I do not want to install 100's of programs all over again if I can get update to work again.
Any suggestions on what's left to try would be appreciated, thanks.
