There is nothing about this error code on the microsoft websites and I am keen to get this problem fixed as it means I am not getting any of the important updates for my computer.

Error 80072EFE is related to Update server closing the connection. Mosty likely, the computer may be infected with ROOTKITS. Try to run TDSSKILLER to find any rootkits. Download and run from here http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe Then try to windows updates. Cheers Ramesh Asari

Hey Ramesh, I created a Windows Live ID for the sole purpose of thanking you for fixing this error for me, the Kaspersky worked like a charm and I am forever in your debt. Thanks again, Jim.

I've run the TDSS Killer from Kapersky, and also tried disabling antivirus and firewalls, but can still not update Vista. This morning, I had 6 "important" updates, and five of them worked fine, but I get the error on this last one. What's going on?

Hello Ramesh, After months of frustration (from my IT guru's) I decided to try this myself, found your recommendation, tried it, and it worked great! Many thanks from me to you on this! In closing as I say in my ancient language, ti.nëch.mo.cuitlahuia, (you take care of me!) Andy
