Hi David, thanks for pointing that out. Looking at my logs I’m surprised to see that this bit of software is still getting 50-60 downloads per week. Perhaps it’s worth me hunting out the old project files to see if I can release an updated version to address this and a couple of other issues! Cheers, Phil

Hi Tom, I think installing SP3 would be a good idea, then try Windows Update again. Best Wishes, Phil

Doesn’t work on localized version of Windows (e.g. French). The “ping” doesn’t work because it is looking for an English result text. It would be nice if the text it looks for is customizable (or if we could just skip the ping).

Hi Phil,

Just wanted to say thanks for this script.

I manually had to adjust the registry keys to get the fix to work, but thanks a lot.

Just thought I would let you know that these issues were caused by a very virulent RootKit that got through all the Virus & Spyware protection on the PC.

ComboFix managed to remove the RootKit (and other viruses) but didn’t fix the service issues (it’s good but not that good!).

Thanks again,

Paddy

I ran the ver 1.6 with no luck. Still cannot start bits or update? I have the save problem with the path name being fystem instead of system. Changed it in the registry, but the path is till wrong in the services. I am currently running SP2, is it a good idea to install SP 3 to see if it fixes the problem, or should I fix this before I install SP3? Any ideas would be appreciated

@John
John, sounds like you may need to reinstall BITS completely. You can download it from the Microsoft web site. See here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923845

@Wouter I had the exact same problem with "fystemRoot". We must have gotten hit with the same malware.
