Windows Update Error Code 80070422 and Error code 1058

Hi all. Hope someone can help me with this error message.
my laptop recently got affected by some trojan and I have removed it with a
few cleaners.
1.Symantec Anti-Virus
2.Windows Defender
3.Live One Care
4.A-Squared Free
5.CCleaner
6.Spybot, search&destroy.
These Programs comes together with the laptop. I never had to do all the
full scan but windows explorer couldn't act properly (windows explorer had to
shut down whenever I open My Computer directory).
After removal, everything is solved and all programs are working. however,
Windows Update couldnt start because of this error code 80070422.

My Laptop details: Windows Vista Entreprise, Service pack 1, Processor: AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-53 1.7 GHz, RAM: 2GB, System Type:
32-bit Operating System.

these are the solutions i have tried:
1.
Running Full scan again. No viruses/malware/trojan or whatever thingy was
found. Windows is back to normal. After re-boot, windows update works again,
but only for a while, after that security center alert me that windows update
is turned off. (No windows update = no update for defender OMG ><).
2.
Check if BITS is enabled. using command prompt. yes it is.
3.
- Check if Windows Module Installer is on Manual (yes it is)
- Windows Module Installer is running.
- Windows Update (Using Adminstartive Tools > Services > windows Update
(properties). I realised that it is Disabled so i click on Automatic, and it
switch back to Disabled again. I have done this repeatedly and when the
status is on Automatic (which it should be), Its service status wrote :
Stopped. ok. I click on start, a pop up shows up : "Error 1058: The Service
cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled
devices associated with it."
- There were several successful attempts and windows manage to get the
lastest update. However, the windows update service fails most of the times.

Its basically all the Trustable solution here I can find on the web. There a
few websites asking me to dowload this anti-malware or that anti-whatever or
whatever... I don't think I should really trust those things...

I hope someone with technical experience can help me out with this. Thank
you so much!

Thank you Thank you!!

Judging from similar posts here in the past month or so, the behavior may be
due to a Vundo-ZLOB-SDBot infection, all of which is protected by a rootkit.

conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

I would like to ask if there is any other way where i can download windows
update manually? if there is how do I do that?
Is it safe if i keep my anti-virus softwares updated w/o defender being
updated?
very troublesome ><

You're welcome.

A1. Yes, you can download updates separately from the Download Center or
Windows Update Catalog but I'd very much doubt that you could successfully
install them, given what we've seen in your posts to date.

A2. There's a very strong chance that your anti-virus application has been
compromised as well, even if you can keep its definitions updated. Ditto
for Defender.

Yes, it is very troublesome. If the machine's infected like I think it's
infected, it got that way due to the unsafe online practices of yourself
and/or any other users of the machine. And only you can fix it.

In closing, I will tell you that your computer should NOT be connected to
the internet in its current state.

Best of luck.
