    How did your computer get infected in the first place? What other infections may still be plaguing the computer?

    Dear Asari,

    Thanks so so much for letting us know about TDSKiller. I was facing windows update error in windows 7 past 3 months and more. I have tried several options and support services of Microsoft site but all in vain.

    After running tds killer, my windows now successfully downloading and installing updates automatically. Thanks again to you. Take care
