I haven't gotten any automatic updates since Nov. 09. I get this error code 
when I try to go in and check for myself for new updates.  I see LOTS of 
others here too that have had same problem. Some are talking about Norton but 
I use AVG Internet Security  and have no idea what your answer would be for 
me?  Why all of a sudden are we having problems?

Yep lots have talked about it and lots have received responses about their 
problems. Ya know, lots even advised readers what their operating system is 
etc.

Presumably you're read:

You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows 
Update or Microsoft Update to install updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941


Error: 80072EFD = ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT
Translation:   Cannot connect to the Internet server

and most likely have read also -

There's a possibility that either a 3rd party firewall, anti-spyware 
program, web accelerator, Internet security/antivirus program and/or a proxy 
server is interfering with the Windows Update Services (SVCHOST) accessing 
the Internet.

Suggest adding the Windows Update website addresses to exceptions/allow list
http://*.update.microsoft.com
https://*.update.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com

If that hasn't help, check that the Windows Update Service can connect to 
the Internet through port 80 and port 443.

You may need to refer to the individual programs documentation for further 
instructions.

When accessing the Update site, you receive the 0x80072EE2 or 0x80072EFD 
error.

Open up a command prompt (you must Run as Administrator - type in the search 
bar Command Prompt, right click the resulting Command Prompt line to Run as 
Administrator and enter a password as required). Enter the following command:

netsh winhttp reset proxy

Enjoy. Occasionally the proxies change in background to localhost. You need 
to reset this to direct otherwise nothing else connects except I.E.
