Hi stephen

Just one other thing. Have you checked your computer date and time? It may
be off. Make sure your machine clock and date are set correctly.


Every certificate has an expiration and start date. When your clock or date
is off even a little, it may think the certificates are not valid, so it
pops up an alert telling you that its either not valid yet or expired for
your own protection. So, be sure your date and time are correct and see if
the alerts stop.



Hope this helps
