Windows blocking access to a web site

G

Guest

I get the following message when trying to go a website I have used many time
before. Windows blocked this software because it can't verify the publisher

I have used the site earlier in the week with no problems. now for some
reason this pops up every time I try to access it. The site is
www.gamesville.com. It is run mby Lycos and is a free game site.

Try to add it to the trusted list of sites on the IE properties under
Privacy or security Tab.
If you still have trouble please write back to the IE? newsgroup that
relevant to your Browser version

go to IE, tools menu, Advanced tab, and scroll to the Security area, to
remove the check from "check for publisher's certificates"

There is very little in a "Repair Setup" of XP that would not be OK, but in
your case, I think you are seeing the result of a Registry setting, and a
Repair would Not change that. My gues would be that a recent Windows Critical
Update has changed some Security setting in IE. Nass' suggestion of adding
the site to the trusted zone only works for "https://*" sites IF you did NOT
remove the checkmark for that. Try removing the check, and adding the site.
Also restart Windows before you test the result.

I will try to Turn the Router/Modem for about 40 Secs and the computer too,
then Reboot/power ON the Router then the Modem ( wait 30 secs before turning
the Computer ON). Does this Help?.
If still then try the steps below one at a time by doing this:
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Taps:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |
Advanced
Under General Tab clear your History, Internet Files and Cookies.
Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.

[&] HTTP 1.1 Settings
[ ] Use HTTP 1.1 ,= Make sure this checked
[ ] Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections
If you using proxy check the proxy one if not check only the first one.

Then under Security Option:
[&] Security
[ ] Use SSL 2.0
[ ] Use SSL 3.0
[ ] Use STL 1.0
Then click on Programs Tab and click Manage Add-Ons and Disable all non
Verified Add-Ons (You should Renable them later one-by-one and see the
culprit and update it or remove it.

Then download this software and update it then run a scan for malwares:
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php

= Then Open a run command and type in these DLLs to re-register them:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 Wintrust.dll
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll
regsvr32 Initpki.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll
regsvr32 Dssenh.dll
regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll
Note you can copy the above and paste in a Notepad and Save As on the
Desktop reg.bat file then double click the file on the desktop to run or you
can open a run command and type in:
C:\Documents and settings\user\desktop\reg.bat click [OK] and then Yes.
Again on the Run command type in:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot your machine and see if you can access any website/link easily and
without the cannot connect error message.

= Open the Windows
Explorer and locate this path:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc = look in the Right Pane/window for this
file called the HOSTS file but not the one with the extension *.SAM* leave
this as is.
If you can't see it try to click Tools >> Folder Options and select show
Hidden files and folder, then right Click the Hosts file and select open with
Notepad.
There see any reference for that site and remove it, you Hosts file will
looks like this:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # Source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # Client Host
127.0.0.1 LocalHost
------------------------------------------
Remove all other References other than those above.
You can also try to assign the web address in the trusted zone on the IE
properties.

= Before we go further are you connecting by Router or Modem, in either try to
Power or unplug the Power cord for the Router/Modem for about 40 seconds or
so be generous with it <g> turn the computer OFF and wait for the time to go
by!!.
Then Turn the Router/Modem ON and wait a minute or so then Power ON the
computer and try to establish a connection and try the link, does it work?.

= If still no joy then continue the heavy work:
Open windows Explorer and locate the Hosts file and Rename it to Hosts.OLD
Reboot the machine and try, does it work.

= If not working still try this:
search for them by this name *index.dat* and you can delete them
then the on reboot the system will recreate them for you.
Some of them here:
C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\Cookies = index
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies = index
C:\Documents and settings\User\User data = index
C:\Windows\Temp\Cookies =index
C:\Windows\Temp\History = index
C:\Windows\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 = Index.dat
Reboot your machine and see if this helped.
HTH.
Let us know.
