Recently my windows security alert popped out, from the windows security center it appears my automatic update was turned off. I tried turning it back on but it would not let me. Now when i try to get the updates from the windows update website it doesn't even allow me to search for the updates.

i tried scanning my computer using malwarebyte anti malware and found:
