when trying to get updates for the above program, I get a message displayed saying `connection failed`

Can anyone suggest what to do?

thanks...

Ok - so just change the Google search to ...

microsoft security essentials - connection failed - windows 7 64 bit

and go from there ... just tried it - the search title is pretty much broad as its long ... the same answers seem to come up and there's bound to be a solution there somewhere I think ...
