hey guys i recently had some updates when i turned off my computer , next time i turned it on every site i visited has a security certificate warning and i cant just go to the site ?? i cant even logon to my sedo account , my hotmail wont sign me out properly ? i get a 'do you wish to continue to this website' message all the time

its driving me nuts , i have turned off my pop up blocker , i have played with the phishing filter

I can find my way to tools . but i am unsure how to change the certificate settings back to normal

any ideas ?

please keep in mind i grew up playing pinball for 10-20 cents , so what is perhaps easy for some always stumps me .......cheers

Get a GOOD malware Cleaner and go totally over your computer with it.

just wishing to change sercurity settings for certificates at this point

 

[djuqa]

Mate, it is the Malware that is intercepting and generating the Error messages regarding the certificates.

cool thanks, the 2nd one http://www.ccleaner.com/ ended up at pctools , which i just spent 3 hrs downloading another one and doing a system check only to find out they wanted cash at the end , sometimes it's the principle ..... i declined because i don't like business like that, although i am trying a different link now, just did the ccleaner and at least could logon to sedo , do the rest tomorrow , thanks heaps

"every site i visited has a security certificate warning"
spacey
If you provide more information , someone may be able to help you
What Operating System?.... xp or vista or win 7 or is a mac?
What browser and version..... IE, firefox, chrome
What virus protection do you have?
What firewall do you use?
Is your time and date correct?

 

[johno69]

Is your time and date correct?

This sounds about right.

Also what EXACTLY is the security warning?

I get the "some parts are not secure" error when visiting some https sites like netfleet.

Very frustrating to always have to allow the images or disallow.

Whoops. Now corrected!

 

[Data Glasses]

something changed after a recent windows update , i did have to reset the time and date , which are now correct , the firewall is turned on at the network connections/windows firewall setting , i was running avg for a long time but upgraded and something went wrong so i deleted and i tried to reinstall but couldn't about a month ago , this is for xp windows for windows 7 i think , this is more than just "some parts are not secure" every site has a certificate security warning , now the other thing is i can't just log out of hotmail , it takes me to a promt , asking if i am done ?

Please note i have spent decent money on norton antivirus in the past , problem was it took nearly 15 minutes to check everything when i turned on the computer , that's why i went to avg because it was less drama and had always worked in the past , i did install avast yesterday but it didn't do the job ? so as i write this i have pc tools spyware doctor running a scan and i will see if it heals the problem , pain in the rear ! please note even when i swapped over to firefox i still had hassles

Do a system restore to a point prior to those updates and see if that fixes the issues.

Then be more selective with your windows updates.

 

[Data Glasses]

i have done system restore in the past and it helped , so good suggestion , the updates are automatic at the moment

 

[johno69]

try system restore, and turn off auto updates. If that gets you going again, keep your updates manual.

Just remember to do them, and be selective.

 

[Data Glasses]

tried to restore .....could only go back 5 days , problem has been longer , can i adjust system restore settings ???? ...... thanks

 

[johno69]

You can adjust setting but that isn't going to help you for the current issue.
