For the past few days, every time I try to back up my computer to an external
hard drive, I get error message 0x80070005 - access denied. This never
happened before.

Does anyone know what I should do?

I use Windows Vista Home Premium, SP2, on an HP Pavillion with 3 GB of RAM.
I recently installed an updated version of Mozilla Firefox. My security
software includes Windows Defender, AVG Free 8.5, and Comodo Internet
Security.

Try resetting the security settings back to the defaults as per How to reset
security settings back to the defaults
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222>


If resetting the security settings did not resolve the Perm issue than look
to the installed security software as being the cause.
[antivirus/anti-malware/cookie or popup blocker/or, any security software
that monitors the registry keys for changes]
