Looks like it is your firewall.

Following is from Windows website ( sorry I stilll use XP so cant help much more )

If you receive Windows Update error 80072ee2 while checking for updates, you might need to add the website addresses from which Windows Update downloads updates to your firewall exceptions or "allow" list.

To add the Windows Update websites to a firewall exceptions list
• Windows Firewall ships with this version of Windows and should already include these sites in the exceptions list. If you use a different firewall, refer to the software publisher's help to see how to add these websites to your firewall exceptions list:

• http://*.update.microsoft.com

• https://*.update.microsoft.com

• http://download.windowsupdate.com




If the problem persists after you have followed the steps above, see this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Help and Support website or go to the Windows Update Support Center website to request support by e‑mail.

Hi Susan,

Yes thats it I think my Firewall but I don't know how to fix this, what can I do? I know nothing about Windows Vista, I have always managed to download the updates until now, why a problem now?
