    One of the most common problems for this is that the security strength has not been set to the required 128bit which most secure sites now need.

    In internet explorer go to help > about internet explorer
    It should say cipher strength: 128 bit, if it says anything less than this then you are going to have to install the internet explorer security update patch which can be found on their download site.

    Hope this helps

    I am / was having the same problem after changing ISP. Reset all default setting for t'internet and downloaded all available updates from microsoft, and at the moment the problem seems to have gone - fingers crossed, so thanks to all the other posters.
