Update site not showing History of updates

Hi,

I updated my XP to SP3 using Microsoft's update website. After that I used
Comodo's system cleaner to clean files from my system. Now when I use the
MS's update website and click on install history link, I do not get a history
of updates that I installed.

regards
Leo

WYSIWYG. It would appear that %windows%\Software Distribution <=this folder
was deleted by Comodo System Cleaner.

Think your Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions (if you
need more convincing).

This apparently is a bug according to a comodo forum member. I guess I will
reinstall and stay away from reg cleaners in future.

Did Comodo System Cleaner create (or prompt you to create) backups of the
changes being made?
