bmadams:
I used 2 steps to get the BITS back and then working. I will share the specifics but I need to run out for a bit (no pun intended)...

Shane:
No problem :-)

Let me know and I can see about getting it added to the repair  :wink:

Shane,
OK, here's the skinny. Vista 64 machine infected with ? fake antivirus FBI warning popup. Never saw he infection myself, went straight to pulling drive and scanning as a slave on another PC, scanned with Malwarbytes and MSE. Returned HD to system, no popups. ran Combofix and repeat malwarebytes. Found you all in one program and ran that, got stuck in loop (see above).
Everything was looking pretty good but would not do updates. Ran EVERY fix offered by MS. Ran your WU fix. Nothing worked. Found discussion around BITS and how it is needed for WU to work. I looked in my Services list and it was not there at all....started pursuit of BITS fixes. Tried every one offered by MS and anything else I could find, nothing working until I did these 2 steps below. BAM! BITS in Services, Started and Updates working...

bmadams:
STEP 1) This gits BITS back in Services list, tries to "Start" but would not (sorry, forgot error message)
-From within the CMD window, type the following exactly (spaces and all)
Create BITS binpath= "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs" start= delayed-auto
Don't forget the space between = and delayed, it matters.
Then restart the PC or go to services.msn and right click on BITS and press start (this step failed until I did the following...and actually the following fixed BITS to start on it own, as it should.)
STEP 2) Follow Method III in the following web link

OK Shane, hope this helps...but know in 7 years full time PC repair I ave never had to "Repair the BITS Service. So I am not sure how important it will be to you....

bmadams:
ps You two need to "get a room" :-)
