See if you can update manually :

How to manually download the latest definition updates for Windows Defender
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923159/

Error code 80070005 translates to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
Is the system experiencing issues installing any other updates ?

I use windows vista home basic and have tried to manually update windows
defender updates, but have been unsuccessful. I am also having problems
updating windows update with the error Code 0x80070643. Any suggestions?

Hello, I too have had the same problem with both codes recently and tried to
install it manually for both and it said it did but when I went to check it
gave me the error code 0x80070643 again. Is there a different step to be
taken? I also went into help and it said that code was because office support
was disabled but mine was not..So I am kind of lost as well.
Thanx!

It is pretty bad, but rather typical, when Microsoft won't even get things to
work correctly. They obviously don't have a fix or answer, so typical.

This comment is so true. It is now September 2009, and i still have this
problem with this darn code. Do we have a fix-it for this problem yet?

This very old thread describes several different problems. Please start a new
thread describing exactly what *your* problem is, including which operating
system you are using and which service pack is installed, and hopefully someone
will be able to help.

When all else fails....

I had this similar/same problem and the only way I found to resolve it was
to first uninstall Windows Defender, & then reinstall it again. That has
probably been suggested on this thread before but give it a try anyway.

good-luck,

Then maybe you should...

1. Read the rest of the replies to this thread from June 2007?

2. Begin your own, new thread about your problem and computer?
