Win Upd & Defender wont update

I have a HP laptop with preinstalled Vista Home Premium

Windows defender update fails with 'the program can't install definition
updates error found code:0x800040002'

Windows update fails with 'windows could not search for new updates error
found code:0x800040002'

Each time I change the windows update settings they revert immediately back
to 'install updates automatically'

Now I tried the following things:
1) Reinstalled the update agent "WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" for 32bit
systems
2) Deleted all sub folders in the SoftwareDistribution folder after stopping
win upd
3) Checked the version of wuaueng.dll which is V. 7.0.6000.374
4) Deactivated my "Avira AntiVir" programm
5) When I try to run "regsvr32 wuaueng.dll" I get the error code 80070005

Does anyone have any suggestion how to go on?

Try the following:-

Click Start, select run and type the following (pressing okay after each one):-

net.exe stop wuauserv

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

net.exe start wuauserv

Try WU again.

<When I try to run "regsvr32 wuaueng.dll" I get the error code 80070005> - probably caused
because the service wasn't stopped first.

The command "net.exe stop wuauserv" seems to work, but the next command
causes the same problem I had before -> error code 80070005

80070005 is an "access denied error" meaning you have a problem with
permissions.
Are you logged in as an Administrator?

Yes I'am logged in as administrator and I'am the only user on this laptop.
But I had other problems with permissions:
When I agree the lisence agreement of ms office it is not stored in the
registry and so I have to agree them evertime I startup my office.

I think my problem is a ACL/permission issue too.
For some reason the install of the monitor driver was interrupted, and then
afterwards I keep getting the error when I try to update the driver for the
monitor (an HP w2207 monitor).
I'ved tried turning off UAC, and creating a different administrator account
and try to install. No go.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I don't know which one it was but one of them solved the problem:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Thanks you

Hi, I've tried the regsvr32 entries (in command mode running as
Administrator), all of them worked except the following two:

wucltui.dll
wuweb.dll

The error I get is:

The module "wuweb.dll" failed to load.

Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check
for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The specified module could not be found.
..

Help!?! I think something in my registry is messed up, but how to fix it?
I've turned off UAC as well, and done a SFC on the Vista file integrity.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the actual error from Vista Problem Reports:
