If you are able to get into the registry (Start>Run>regedit [enter]), then:
Make the Hidden setting 1 to show hidden files and to 0 to not show
hidden files. If the above doesn't work and the user can't show hidden
files, then:
Right-click on and delete CheckedValue in the right pane. Create a new
DWORD Value called CheckedValue in the right-hand window. Double-click
on CheckedValue. In the Edit DWORD Value box, set the Value Data to 1.
Then OK, exit regedit, reboot.
Be extremely careful in the registry since a mistake can render Windows
unbootable.
Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to
do all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.
The site is in German but David's tool is in English so don't let that
worry you. Scroll all the way down to almost the bottom of the page and
you'll see a box titled "Infos Zum Download - Multi-AV Scanning Tool".
You'll see "Download von www pctipp.ch" and the live link to download
Multi_AV.
When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).
Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these
are just suggestions based on many years of being a professional
computer tech; suggestions based on what you've written. You should not
take my suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work
yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of
tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your
local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that
not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they
are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be
clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you
take the machine into a shop.
this problem is solved please also tell me how to enable automatic windows

I suspect your computer is still not clean or the malware damaged system
files. There are many, many reasons why WU won't work and the fixes
depend on what the errors are, not just one or two registry entries.
I suggest that you post in the Windows Update newsgroup, giving a lot
more details so the WU experts can help you. I've taken this as far as I
want to on a machine I can't see.
