    Yea, BITS is still broken. Try this:

    • Type services.msc in your Start Search box, and then hit Enter
    • Double-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service
    • On the General tab, in the Startup type box, select Manual, and then click Apply
    • Select the Log On tab, and then verify that the service is enabled in every hardware profile that is listed. If the service is disabled in one or more hardware profiles, click the hardware profile, click Enable, and then click Apply
    • Select the General tab, and then click Start

    If BITS starts successfully, visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site to obtain updates. If you successfully obtain updates, re-set the BITS service to Automatic (Delayed Start) In the Startup type box.

    If you receive an error, post the message.

    We're not done yet, but I first want to make sure that it is not Malware disabling your BITS service...
