What's the exact wording of the message you're seeing? Are you sure your
root certificate store isn't damaged?

Dan

here is what I got when I went to microsoft. It is driving me batty also.

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.


The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not
yet valid.

Dan, the message golfdufr received is the same one I have been receiving.
I'm not sure what the root certificate store is, but, it seems like the
"website's security certificate" message is a wide spread pain for a lot of
IE7 users.

That is the message I'd expect to see if your date was incorrectly set on
your machine, or the certificate date is expired or in the future. The
message makes this clear - "has expired" means the date on your pc is the
same or after the certificate expiry date; "not yet valid" means your pc
date is before the issue date of the certificate, or it's issue date is in
the future. If you can post an example URL where you see this then it should
make it easier to determine where the problem is.

Fred, this just started happening to me as well and I was extremely
frustrated until I realized it was right after I installed Symantec's Norton
360! If this is the case for you (or possibly a different "flavor" of
Symantec Security), Go to Tools > Manage Add Ons > Enable or Disable Add Ons.
From there, you can then click "Publisher" to group the Symantec Add On's
together and then Disable them. Close and Restart IE and...I hope this does
the trick. I was pretty happy when it worked for me! I'm going to post this
on all the threads that seem to have this problem because it seems to be
pretty widespread and I can't believe there's such a problem with Microsoft
IE & Symantec working together.

I can give you a URL that you might check out - I know the certificate
expired, but is there any way to get rid of the annoying notice, on this one
site in particular anyway?

https://www.bpsatlantic.com:2083/

Thanks.

I don't think you can disable that warning, at least not that I've seen.
And that site doesn't just have an expired cert (from almost a year ago!),
but it's also not the correct Common Name (FQDN) either.

Thank you Brandon. I tried your suggestion and it worked. How $#(* annoying
though! Having to disable the add-on nonetheless eliminates the use of Norton
Confidential.

Update: I just got off of an excrutiatingly long chat session with Symantec.
The upshot is that this is a known issue and "soon" they will release a patch
via the usual automatic Live Update. Gods!
