Cannot Access Secure Sites - Comments Page 4

Hi, I am not able to connect to the Internet via IE or Mozilla Firefox but I am to login to Messengers while connecting to BroadBand. I have a Compaq Pressario V6000 laptop. My Wireless connection is working fine.
Can you please let me know the problem.

i have been facing this problem of logging on to hotmail https site ;after the login page submission - the page shows message cannot be displayed. i had the same prob. about a month ago and solved it by allowing pop-ups from 1st and third parties in security tab of IE options. I am using IE 7.0.5730.11 and bit / cipher strength is 128 bits. Also i have removed norton's all types of software but to no avail. i have in the PC McAfee and Spyware Doctor from long time.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Have you tried removing McAfee and/or the spyware sotware to see if they are interfering?

I had the same problem. I was not able to login into yahoomail, gmail, orkut. But I tried a proxy site http://accessmyspacefromwork.info and it worked. I was able to access all secured sites. What could have been the problem? Plz suggest an alternate solution as I don't want to access all the sites through proxy.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I assume you're trying to access those sites from work or school, and they are explicitly blocked by the network administrators.

I have windows XP and recently got infected with spyware, after i ran ad aware and spybot i couldnt access secure sites, it seems i cannot even open norton anti virus and i cant even uninstall it..Any time i find a website to where i might be able to fix this problem its says that the page cannot be displayed..also i tried to use system restore but it always fails to restore...i dont want to spend $200 to the geek squad on this one, i dont kno wat to do nemore...thanks

EDITOR'S NOTE: Some viruses try to block anti-virus download pages, nasty. I recommend that you install Windows Defender and AVG anti-virus. Hopefully they can catch and kill the nasties.

im having the same problem. But, it dosent say page connot be displayed just the same page comes up again without my log in details. If i take my laptop over my mates house and connect to her network it works? So its gotaah be something to do with my router. Help?! Thanks.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds suspiciously like a classic man-in-the-middle spoof. I would hit the reset button on your router and see it that clears up the problem. You may also have to re-configure your router settings, check with your ISP on that...

whew........i'm having the same problem. i'm fairly computer literate, and upgraded to a new harddisk with xp sp2.......and lo, no secure sites. i've tried your suggestions, but nothing works........still get the "cannot find server" message.........i'm about ready to re-format, and install sp1.....please help!

I'm not tech savvy, and I came across this page while researching a problem which would tell me every certificate was not valid or expired and would block me from going to sites I knew were okay . It turned out to be a simple fix. Somehow the clock on my computer got turned back to 2000. So every site had a not yet valid or expired certificate. Once I set the 2009 date, I could get to every site without a problem. And that eliminated each "Security Alert" warning I was getting.
