Hi, my laptop suddenly went funny yesterday, not sure what happened as my oh was on it and prob wouldn't have noticed! But now the clock is wrong and when I try to get on certain sites it says there is a problem with the websites security certificate..tried Ebay and facebook, won't even go near my bank..any ideas??

Probably Cmos battery needs replacing. Very easy and inexpensive to do. Try resetting time first.

Correct the time and these messages will disappear. If the time is wrong again after every reboot, you'll need to replace the battery on the mainboard.
