However, since doing so,i can no longer get automatic or any windows updates. the firewall etc is on, and it says my updates are on, but when i try to update im getting 0x80070424 error code??? any ideas.. scanning with malewarebytes does not show any thing is wrong. thanks

If the above does not correct the issue, you may try this as well as it may correct the problem:

Run the Windows Update Reset Tool:

• Please download the Windows Update Reset Tool from here and save it to your desktop.
  
• Double click the MicrosoftFixit50202 to begin
  
• Follow the onscreen instructions and run it in Agressive Mode
  
• Reboot your computer if asked to do so
  
• Let me know in your next reply if the issue is corrected
  

If you continue to have issues after that then I would suggest getting your system checked to verify that it is in fact totally clean of infection:
