Error code 80072EFD with Vista updates

Unfortunately, I tried to use these sites but the firewall on my Vista family premium will only allow the programs well and NOT websites.  I have 4 important updates that need to download so I can install them.  I get this error message all the time and sometimes they get in through slowly but then they cannot install and the firewall prevents them.  What to do?

Help!

Quote your full version of Windows (for example, Vista SP1;) Vista 64 - bit SP2) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

A (another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?
