Internet Explorer

In the corner of this web page there is usually a symbol
of a padlock, this has disappeared and now I cannot get
onto certain web sites and my daughter cannot go onto MSN
messenger. Can anybody tell me why this has happened. I
have checked all security settings, but nothing changes.

In Internet Explorer -
1. Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
2. Scroll down to the Security Settings.
3. Make sure that the two boxes are checked that say
"Enable SSL 2" or "Enable SSL 3".
Try your secure sites.

Another thing you can try is:

Go to start/run
Type in: regsvr32 softpub.dll
