0x80072f8f Error

[Guest]

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.
