[FolkZ]

Hi,
Long time ago, windows update offer me to download vista service pack 1, but
then at that time I was very busy, and left it then I just realised when I
checked at the history of my updates , the status for windows vista service
pack 1 is fail...

When I double klick on it, Error details Code 80246008...Then I click get
help with this error, they told me to do to with the BITS, but I found that I
don't have to change anything because the BITS already on the same status
that they told me to do so...

Any solution here?
Really appreciate if anyone can help me...I really need this things to be
done T_T

What TaurArian said. If no joy...

There's a very strong possibility that the problem is due to a hijackware
infection.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

2. Run this online scan (in safe mode w/networking, if need be):

3. Run additional checks for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis
log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
