Tough one, firstly this is a home machine right?

To start with, if it's windows xp, i'd try creating a new user and logging in with that just to see if it's something specific to your existing login profile.

So create a new user, login in with it, change some settings and log off, log back on again and see if they've been applied etc.

Also click on start ---> run ---> then type in "services.msc" and check that the 'automatic updates service' has been started and is set to automatic.

Can you also go here - http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner and run the online virus scanner and see if it comes back with anything.
