Proxy settings refusing access to secured website

[Jacky Sarno]

My problem is that I can connect to the internet no problem, but my computer
is refusing access to secured websites, ie my banking and hotmail accounts.

I have done soooo much and it wasn't that bad cos I could still use skype
and make phonecalls, but then I was lured to update to a newer version and
now I have lost access to that!

I have Norton Internet Security Anti virus 2004 which has now been expired
and I was told that even though I don't use it, it could be their firewall
settings that are blocking it and to remove the whole program. I tried to do
this through control panel but it tells me I need to log in, so after
attemping to log in it tells me I don't have authority. I then updated my
antiv virus and then that also was refused to connect to the internet so I
can't download it.

Anyone have any idea?

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
Press Enter or click OK

After you upgrade to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) in
Microsoft Windows XP SP2, some SSL-secured (128-Bit) Web pages and Web sites may
not work correctly. Frequently, this behavior is caused by security changes in
Windows XP SP2.
