Figuring out why your computer can't get into secure sites is a tough one. Here are some steps to take:





(1) Visit http://www.windowsupdate.com/ (if possible, sometimes this sort of problem takes away this option) and make sure you have the latest and greatest. Keep going back until it says you have no new critical updates.





(2) Try another browser. http://www.mozilla.com/ is where you can get Firefox. It might not solve the underlying problem, but it can give you an option and it's good to have a backup browser anyway.





(3) Check your system date and time, including year and time zone. Simple, yet it can cause this problem.





(4) Disable ALL security programs. Firewalls, pop-up blockers, browser toolbars, anti-virus.... This includes router firewalls---If you're going through a router, bypass it. Keep them disabled for the duration of your troubleshooting.





(5) Go to Start%26gt;Control Panel%26gt;Internet Options. Clear the cookies, Clear the files, including "Offline" files. Go to the security tab, click on "default." Go to the privacy tab, click on "default." Go to the connection tab, click on LAN settings, make sure there's no proxy (unless your ISP demands it to work---write it down if there's something there and removing it makes your internet stop working). Go to the advanced tab, click on "restore defaults." Click Apply, Click OK. Try it again. No dice? Go back to Tools%26gt;internet options%26gt;advanced and scroll down to "allow third party browser extensions. Uncheck it. Apply%26gt;OK, try again. If that doesn't work, go back in and re-enable third party browser extensions. Apply%26gt;OK.





6. Click on Start%26gt;Run and enter "CMD." In the black box, type in "netsh winsock reset catalog" When prompted, restart your computer. Try again.





7. Try a second, and even third spyware removal tool. The Yahoo toolbar uses Pest Patrol which is pretty good. You can get Spybot S%26amp;D and Ad-Aware at http://www.download.com/





8. Do a System Restore. Start%26gt;All Programs%26gt;Accessories%26gt;System Tools%26gt;System Restore. Go back to a date where you know it worked.





9. Nothing left that I can think of besides repairing or reinstalling XP. If you've gotten this far, either you have/had a wicked piece of spyware that attached itself pretty good to something in your registry, or something just got corrupt in Windows.





I don't think I've left anything out. Best of luck to you!
Reply:Maybe your browser is blocking them? Or firewall?
Reply:At the top of the internet bar, go to Tools, Internet Options, Security, and then Custom Level and you can see what's being blocked and what isn't.
Reply:Go to tools %26gt;%26gt; options%26gt;%26gt;and turn off ssl certificates options and cancel all validations.
