[SC] CreateService Failed 5: Access is denied.

Hi

I am using Windows 7 64bit. I have no service pack as Windows will not update. Through reading I believe this is due to the following problem (BITS is missing).

Since a malware attack I have found BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) missing from my list of Services.

On advice from many forums I have tried reinstalling it by entering the following command into cmd.exe

sc create BITS binpath= "c:windowssystem32svchost.exe -k netsvcs" start= delayed-auto

However I get the response message:

[sC CreateService Failed 5:

Access is denied.

I am opening cmd.exe with "Run as Administrator".

I have also ensured the administrator has "full control" under the security permission within properties.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
