Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)
In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:
+ ServiceId = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}, URL of the server = https://update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx

* WARNING: Could not synchronize, error 0x80072EFE is

An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.
We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.
Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi Linda,.
Are you sure that the Virus has been completely removed from your system? The behavior you describe looks like maybe it's still there, or there may be damage he did while he was in your system.
You can try running this repair order: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

800b0100 error code when you try to install Windows updates KB974145 and KB978251
Greetings and salutations:
Any help would be appreciated.
I tried to install these 'important' updates several times with the same result - updates failed, error 800b0100 code. I downloaded and installed the KB974821 tool - tells me it installed - same problem. (I don't know if I'm supposed to do something else with KB974821 - I have to "run" or just "installed" it enough?) Instructions could certainly be clearer)
I tried to download and install the updates manually - without success - I get various error messages, like "does not apply to your system" or "for a different hardware platform.
I tried this with my firewall/antivirus close as well - using Trend Micro - and still no luck.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions, help? Very much appreciated. Thank you.
BTW, I'm running VHP 64 with Service Pack 2 installed. Nothing should be this complicated or frustrating.
Additional information:
In another forum, where I posted this inquiry (I was told is the right place to post it here) I was advised on how to get the results of the KB947821 tool that I ran. (Why this information was not given instructions on how to use the tool is beyond me). Here are the results of the analysis, apparently:

Hello. I wanted to run Visual Studio 2010 Express edition on my Vista Home Premium, but ran into way too many problems. First of all, download have not installed because of a problem with the installation of .NET framework v4.0. Then I tried to VS 2008, but has encountered the same problem with the .NET framework. Whenever I try to run Windows update, it displays error Code 80096001 and said "Windows could not check for new updates. So I tried to download .net directly from microsoft downloads, but whenever I try to install it, it says I need to turn on .net "turn on or off windows features", in the control panel. I tried, but the list is completely empty, it shows nothing at all. I downloaded the vista sp1, but it too installation stops with error code 0 x 80096001.
I tried to disable my anti-virus (avg free). Windows Defender does not initially upward or through subsequent attempts to run it. It shows the same error code. Please advise on how I can solve these problems and use Visual Studio... it's very frustrating because I never had these problems with XP... everything worked.Seems like a lot of corruption.

(Windows 2000) Error #0x80072EFE when you try to run Windows/Microsoft Update
Hello world. I hope you don't mind offering support for a Windows 2000 based platform here, (I don't think Windows Update deferred much, if at all between the two operating systems)
In any case, all of a sudden, I get error 0x80072EFE in Windows Update all of a sudden. I tried several troubleshooting steps, delete the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to just reboot my computer. Nothing seems to work, and I hope someone has a step that will be.
