error 0x8007000B and 0x80240038

I cannot access Windows Update for my XP Pro PC.

Running WU I get the first message
but in the log the second is mentioned.

I have tried

1. to delete the SoftwareDist folder

2. to use the script
>>>
regsvr32 /u wuapi.dll /s
regsvr32 /u wups.dll /s
regsvr32 /u wuaueng.dll /s
regsvr32 /u wuaueng1.dll /s
regsvr32 /u wucltui.dll /s
regsvr32 /u wuweb.dll /s
regsvr32 /u MSXML3.dll /s
regsvr32 /u qmgr.dll /s
regsvr32 /u qmgrprxy.dll /s
regsvr32 /u jscript.dll /s
regsvr32 /u wups2.dll /s
regsvr32 /u atl.dll /s
regsvr32 wuapi.dll /s
regsvr32 wups.dll /s
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll /s
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll /s
regsvr32 wucltui.dll /s
regsvr32 wuweb.dll /s
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll /s
regsvr32 qmgr.dll /s
regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll /s
regsvr32 jscript.dll /s
regsvr32 wups2.dll /s
regsvr32 atl.dll /s

Thank you Luis,
but the advices you give do not solve the problem.
As you might have seen these error codes are
not covered by the MS papers.

I did myself found after a while
that my PC was infected by malware.
Some of the Windows Update links (pdf-files for instance)
send me also to other sites (commercials I think)

My normal protection did not find anything at scanning
but after using a spyware removal tool the error disappeared.

I think MS should have a look at these malware

Thank you
