Error 0x80072EE2

I was checking the Microsoft update here at the office and when I went to MU I kept getting Error 0x80072EE2.  Hmmmmm....so I googled and found:  You receive an "Error 0x80072EE2" or an "Error 0x80072EFD" error message if you try to use the Microsoft Windows Update Web site, the solution for which is in KB 836941: Making the MU site a trusted zone in IE fixed the issue and I can now use Microsoft Update [and for that matter auto updates was apparently broken as well and just now started working again after I put the link into the Trusted Zone.]

Check and make sure that check box indicating it's a trusted site is in place.
