Windows 7: Web browser security stuff gone crazy?

Frick · Jun 19, 2010

Hey all.

Using the computer under system specs atm with a fresh install of Win7 (another PSU though). Sweet.

Anyway, both Firefox (latest build) and IE says pretty much the entire Internet has problems with the security certificates. Youtube, Google, Ebay and so on. I have to add them all to the exception list to go there.

What gives?

Thanks for looking!

EDIT: I used Win7 on another machine until like a month ago, never had this issue. There's no issue with this in WinXP either, using the same programs.

Make sure your date is set right.

I remember MS did an OS update that had to do with online verifications. Ill see if I can find it.

Anyway Frick did you update everything via the OS updater??

Edit: Still looking but I found this....

Try clearing them.

Also is your .NET Framework up to date?

Can you get a screenshot of the errors ?

+1 to NT & MailMan

The SSL certs are date sensitive and are matched against the root certificates, which Microsoft has an update for.

Set your clock and then use Microsoft Update to ensure you have all the latest updates installed, especially the important ones and the cert one.

If your clock is out, apart from the obvious that someone has frigged with it, it could be your cmos battery dying or a fault with the motherboard.

Arr, time was indeed the answer. I thought I had set the time (actually, I'm pretty sure I did), but it turns out it was way out. Silly, silly, me.

Thanks!
