XP Automatic updates will not enable

I cannot enable my Automatic Updates. Whenever I enable it, it goes directly
to disable. I hve a Windows security Alert constantly in my tool bar. When
I click on that, I can't even switch Updates from off to on. Am I infected?
I am not an expert with computers, so please help. Thanks.
