Cannot enable windows 7

I could not locate an answer to this question - so here I go.

Specifications:
-Windows 7 x64 version: 6.1.7600 Build 7600
-Intel i7 965

When I go to,
Windows update > Change settings
all of the options to enable updates are grayed out. Currently "Important updates" are disabled as well as everything else "recommended updates" & "Who can install updates".

I am the only user on this computer, and am 100% positive I am admin. I am not a part of a group policy.

I am using Kaspersky Internet security, and have disabled it yet I am still unable to re-activate windows updates.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
