    go to www.windowsupdate.com and choose custom , then look for a Root Certificate update , if there is one then download it

    this explains what it does on Vista but applies to all versions of windows

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc751157.aspx


    Root certificates are updated on Windows Vista automatically. When a user visits a secure Web site (by using HTTPS SSL), reads a secure email (S/MIME), or downloads an ActiveX control that is signed (code signing) and encounters a new root certificate, the Windows certificate chain verification software checks the appropriate Microsoft Update location for the root certificate. If it finds it, it downloads it to the system. To the user, the experience is seamless. The user does not see any security dialog boxes or warnings. The download happens automatically, behind the scenes.

    Can you confirm you checked your system date as spysect suggested? Most importantly check the year is correct.
