If you are having problems with automatic updates service not starting or you get an error message like this: 'Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.'

Anti-spyware to fix update problems? I don't think so.
There's a Windows Service fix that works.
