so i was trying to watch a movie when window media player wouldn't start. i opened the task manager to see if it was frozen, instead i found nothing.
then about an hour later, i started getting blank internet explorer script error messages and no matter how may i closed there was more. now my desktop is gone but explorer.exe is still running i ran restarted and i ran spyware SD and Malwarebytes and found nothing. i'm not sure if it's i virus or malware or not.

Hello Ckenward

When you say wonky what exactly do you mean? does it work then it doesn't?

What I will try with you now is to disable the service and re-enable the service and see if that helps you in anyway to do that please do the following.

• Select start and goto run
• In the run box enter "services.msc" without the quotation marks and press enter
• Scroll down to Automatic Updates and double click this
• Click on stop, then click ok
• Double click Automatic Updates again and click start then ok

Also make sure that your time and date is set correctly, to do this just double click the time at the bottom right hand side of your screen.

Regards
