security certificate

[Floorist]

How do I turn off the security certificate warning in IE W7? The box pops up and warns about the security certificate on a website and gives three options. Proceed, decline or view certificate. None of the options work. The box itself shows that the sites have a valid security certificate. It pops up even on sites that I know are secure. You have to go to "task manager" and shut down the site or it freezes you where you are. It is a PITA.

This isn't that full page error thing that pops up, this is a small box that pops up in the middle of the screen.

You visit a client or other website and, instead of the site itself, you encounter a security certificate error. If you are using Windows and Internet Explorer, the browser generates this error when it attempts to open a website that has a problematic security certificate. It could be that the certificate is outdated or was issued by an entity that Internet Explorer does not trust. In any case, if you know the website is trustworthy, there two methods you can try to get past the certificate error: update the date and time on your computer or simply accept the certificate. If you aren't sure whether the site is trustworthy, Microsoft recommends that you not continue to the site.
Fix Date and Time

1. If your computer's clock is set to a date or time that is after the website's certificate expired, you can change your clock settings. Click the date in the bottom right corner of your computer's Desktop.

2. Click "Change date and time settings" to open the Date and Time dialog.

3. Click "Change date and time..."

4. Enter the correct "Time" and select the correct "Date."

5. Click "OK" on both dialog boxes to change the date and time on your computer.
Accept the Certificate

1. Select "Continue to this website (not recommended)."

2. Click "Certificate Error."

3. Select "View Certificates," then "Install Certificate," and confirm that you want to install the certificate.

I had to change the date and time for one awhile back . Let me know if this works for you .

Floorist, I'd Turn off Java script myself in my plugins in my browser before visiting the site that locks up your computer.

It might not load up the site if it is java heavy. But it should not lock up your computer with java runtime environment turned off to test.
