Error number: 0x80072EFD

I hate MS updates!  This is the most problematic utility in their software.  I have done a repair install, slogged through all the Knowledge Base possibilities and MS Bulletins, and a myriad of Google searches, even WURT.  No good.  Always get Error number: 0x80072EFD.

Any ideas?

Old build, XP SP1.  Will not accept CD install of SP2 (after 45 minutes of installing it rejects the install by claiming I do not have "permission").  Apparently, this issue has been going on for a long time but I discovered it after cleaning a whole bunch of bad guys from the system.

AVG and Comodo were installed AFTER discovery of this issue and are turned off as I attempt to remedy the update problem.

Hello pistolslapper:

Thanks for the input but since the pc was not going to be connected, anymore, to the Internet it was determined that it was not worth it to fix the update issue.  I have awarded points for participation.
