Hi,

Malwarebytes currently has problems with dealing with keys where permissions are set, but that will be fixed in next version.
To deal with this for now, Please download and run WUS_Fix.exe: http://users.telenet...ols/WUS_Fix.exe
This should restore the default registry settings related with BITS and Automatic updates.

Let me know if that solved it.

Thank you so much Mieke,

Windows updates work again and a rescan with Malwarebytes now shows no further problems.

Priceless help
