error Microsoft update 0x800...7 Automatic Updates Service won't start - Error 2

Check the ImagePath Value in the Registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv and verify it is "%systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs" and not a fake path like %fystemroot%\.. netsvcs

When you say you can't edit the ImagePath Value do you mean you can't open regedit? If thats the case then are you an administrator on the computer? If you are an administrator an get "access denied" when running regedit then type the following command on the Command Prompt or at the Run Command "REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f" You should then be able to run regedit.

Sounds like permissions were changed because of the spyware. Below are the steps for Windows XP Professional you need to follow. In the other versions of XP or Windows 2000 its the same idea except maybe with minor differences in the steps.
1) Open Regedit
2) Select Key "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuause rv"
3) Right Click Key - Select Permissions
If permissions are effected Administrators will not have Full Control" follow Step 4 -11. If Administrators have Full Control then you have another problem. Don't even bother doing steps 4-11
4) Select Advanced Button
5) Select Owner Tab
6) Add "Administrators" if it is not there. If it is Highlight Administrators and click Apply Button
7) Click "OK" this will close "Advanced Security for wuauserv" box
8) Select "Administrators" in "Permissions for wuauser" box
9) Check Allow - Full Control box (If check boxes are greyed out then
9a) Select Advanced Button
9b) Uncheck "Inherit from parent...defined here" box
9c) Click "Copy" button
9d) Click "OK" in "Advanced Security for Wuaserv" Box
9e) You should now be able to check the Allow Full Contol box
10) Click "Apply" - If you don't receive an error your golden
11) Click "OK"

You should then be able to modify the value ImagePath.

The spyware that you had probably effected several registry keys so you may have to follow steps 3 - 11 again if you can't modify other keys.

As you said I found that for Automatic Update and Background Intelligence Transfer services the %s has been changed to %f but This is not getting edited in either services.msc or in regedit
