Internet "security warning" keeps popping up?

Question

This message keeps popping up: "The internet site you are about to view uses a certificate that has expired or is not yet valid. Do you wish to proceed?" I close it and it comes right back. This happens repeatedly even though I do not have a web browser open. I always use ZoneAlarm and just ran scans with ZoneAlarm, Spybot S&D and AdAware and it's still doing it. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Answer 1

it's a certificate for a website that's been outdated so you got a warning. why it's popping up is another issue.

right click taskbar, taskmanger then onto the proccess tab. click user name till your user account is lined up.

then look for all CAPITOL letter's of EXPLORER.EXE or the certificate itself and click it to highlight it, then click end proccess tab. that will do away with it



when i open mine and i click users,

mine say's hp_owner yours will be owner or a name depending on how your logged in.

Answer 5

Hmm... Something is running and trying to access a website, which is giving you the error. I would try an Anti-Virus scan too. You can download AVG-Free and see if it can find anything.
