Secure site log-in / DNS errors

[Axel]

On one computer - two set up identically - I can enter secure sites. On the
other I receive a DNS error - cannot find server - I've cleared the cash,
the cookies, everything I can think of. Any suggestions?
TIA

Hi Axel,

Close Internet Explorer.

Start/run "regsvr32 softpub.dll" and click "ok".

Then retry the sites.

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
