I have Trojan Horse downloader.generic3.qll that affects WindowsUpdates.exe. My boyfriend tried to fix it by deleting windowsupdates.exe file from my Windows.

The virus is in my virus vault, but I'm trying to find and download windowsupdates.exe to repair my system and allow my updates to install.

Can someone give me this file? It's for Service Pack 2. Thanks so much!

Hmm, well google says that windowsupdates.exe IS a virus, and I've never seen nor heard of it before.

Are you actually unable to download updates?

Try going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com in IE & see if you can get 'em there.

... nor me, certainly no such file on my XP Home. You don't need or want that file.
