Why does Internet Explorer say I have certificate errors on every website?

Question

I just got a new netbook and the internet explorer keeps saying that there are certificate errors on every website. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Hi Michael,



Assuming that you are using Internet Explorer 8, I would suggest you to run a Custom scan at Windows Update and check for a Root Certificates update listed in the Optional Software updates category in the left-hand menu of the scan results page.



Ensure that Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 8 (KB2416400) is listed in Add/Remove Programs.



Also, check the time, date, and time zone settings on the system.



You may also check the Security settings on Internet Explorer. Follow the steps below:

1. Click Tools | Internet Options | Advanced Tab.

2. Under Security, uncheck the boxes Check for publisher's revocation and Check for server certificate revocation.

3.Click Ok.

4. Restart Internet Explorer.



Hope this helps.



Thanks and Regards

This concern may additionally take place in the journey that your laptop's clock is set so as that the date/time is later than the expiry date of the cyber web server's SSL certificates. additionally daytime mark downs exchange isn't till March 9 at 2AM, so make certain you have not replaced the date/time on your laptop too quickly.

Answer 3

It means your computer's clock is out. If it shows an old date it thinks the date on certificates isn't current (lol).



Set your clock right. If it keeps losing time you need to replace your cmos (bios) battery. They only cost a couple of dollars from ebay.
