Error Code 80070005

Since May 15th my automatic Windows update (using Vista) has stopped working.
I keep getting the error code 80070005.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

80070005 is an Access Denied; Permissions issue.

Look to the installed security software as being the cause.

Temporarily disable any third-party real-time system protections (e.g.,
(antivirus/security suite/ 3rd party firewall/ popup/ script/ anti-spyware/
or cookie blocker/ or, any security software that monitors the registry keys
for changes)

Try resetting the security settings back to the defaults:
NO APPLY TO WINDOWS 7

Make sure you're running as an administrator.

Please let us know what fixes the problem or if the p�oblem remains

Yes: Dis-infect your computer or format the HDD & do a clean install of
Windows.
