Hi

In the process of removing a trojan I accidentally managed to get rid
of msdn-nt.exe from my Windows directory.

Now, in services, Auto Update is permanently disabled and cannot be
reenabled.

wuauserv is also failing to start up.

I tried reinstalling SP4 but it aborted half way through.

Would anyone be able to offer me some advice please?

Thanks

Emma.
 
AFAIK that isn't a "windows" EXE and you don't want it. These articles may
help.

Be sure to apply SP4 and these two below to your repair install before
