Updates were disabled

Vista 32 home premium.

I could not check nor down load windows updates and after receiving an error
code and then discovered it had been disabled in services, what is baffling
me is how it could it have happened or what caused it! I have always set
updates to automatically download when available which they have been so it
is an impossibility that I would have accidently disabled this service, I am
thinking on the lines of maybe a virus, Trojan etc that caused it , I would
appreciate any feed back on this, Thanks

Start by using these two free programs. Download, install, do online
update, and scan. Report back with the results.
