All,

I am having problems with Windows Vista. Since I've installed the Avast
Anti-Virus it's not working. I've already removed it and tried several things
(I am describing some below).

Also, I touhght that installing the service pack 2 everything will be fine
but the same error appears...80070424.

My system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64bits.

I've tried to:
- run Microsoft Fix It agents;
- reinstall the agent (unsuccessfully);
- create a bat file with these instructions: sc config wuauserv start= auto
sc config bits start= auto
sc config DcomLaunch start= auto
net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net start DcomLaunch
- run manually the services;
- reinstall BITS services.

I'm pretty worried because the error insists to happen.

Does anybody can help me?

I've already reset my windows update settings. The previous antivirus was
AVG. It's now installed on my machine.

To see if the antivirus is working , run the EICAR test ( it`s a
non-virus simulator ) .
