IE7 Certificate error

Mr_Mister

I keep getting " There is a problem with this website's security certificate" when browsing on any secure website. I've tried various sites I have used before and getting the same problem. I've been using IE7 for about 3 months and never had an issue.
Has my settings changed all of a sudden? I havent made any changes at all to my PC.
Strange why I keep getting this all of a sudden.
Any ideas?

No i'll try that when I get home. Not sure why the phishing filter would be on. Its always been off.
Thanks

Same problem but only on a couple of websites 1. Onetel, logging into my account 2. Primus, logging into my bills. Makes no difference whether "phishing filter" is on or off.

My Phishing filter is disabled and still getting the error. This is annoying as its affecting any secure site including Hotmail

go to windows updates, then choose custom , then software optional, look for

Finally found out the fix.
My Time and Date on the PC was incorrect somehow. Corrected that and that fixed the problem
