Looks like I have been affected with Vundo or another Malware or virus.
Will not allow Automatic Updates (Via services.msc), continually disables
them.
I run Norton 360, PLUS One Care MLTIPLE Times.

I do not open unscanned emails, so this must have come from the internet.

This is a Microsoft intrusion, are you guys doing anything to fix it?????

I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER PROGRAM TO FIX A MICROSOFT SECURITY PROBLEM!!!!

When will this be fixed?????

> I run Norton 360, PLUS One Care MLTIPLE Times

You have N360 *and* OneCare installed and loading at boot? If so, chances
are that neither are protecting you properly.

This is certainly NOT a "Microsoft intrusion" and MS cannot fix it. YOU got
YOUR machine infected, most likely by clicking on an unsafe link (e.g., to
download a supposedly-needed CODEC to view a [porn?] video) found in a
pop-up, an email, or on a web-page.

YOU can run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your
hijackthis log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

YOU got the computer infected so it's your responsibility to fix it.

So in answer to your question "When will this be fixed?" really depends upon
you and what you are prepared to do about it.
