The Defender Taskbar icon has an exclamation over it. When I run the Update,
it tries to connect then halt with this 80072f8f error. What I have found is
that it is time related, but my PC and bios are in correct and synchronized
time. My WSUS server is as well, but my XP sp2 PC will have nothing to do
with either of these apps. Every web fix I've tried yields no result. Gotta
be something in the registry but I can't even begin to start a valid search.
Any help out there? TIA.

Hello Mike,

Please check your date.

I have my own experience, having the year set to the year 2000. How was
changed I don't know, but after I reset the time and date, evrything went OK.

I hope the same happen with you.
I hope this post is helpful, let us know how it works ºut.

start run regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll
