Solve : Yup, can access secure websites.?

Answer»

I have Windows XP professional. I'm not sure what service pack I have, but I think it's 2. How would I check exactly?

I use Firefox. When I try accessing a secure website(such as hotmail), my connection gets refused. When I try doing it on Internet Explorer, I get a The page cannot be displayed page.cant access*Do you have a firewall, or a control of any kind that is preventing access? Also, have you scanned for spyware?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I don't have a firewell. I just scanned for spyware/adware, and I got a Possible Browser Hijack thing, which I don't think has to do with my problem. What do you mean by control? A firewall even if its only software will stop some of the spys?an a hardware one is better. ......but you may obtain this  one via this website.......www.majorgeeks.com..(sygate personal edition) i will let you in a secret...most isp........spy on their users?? no more said:(  hammertime¬I don't have a firewell.

If you go to the control panel , make sure its set to display "classic" ......then click on the system icon .....when it opens you will see what o/s you have and the service pak # .......If you dont have SP2 go to windows update page and download it ......as well as the other critical updates .

If you have a hijacker, all sorts of ODD things may occur.

It's probably not firefox, since it does not work on Internet Explorer either. I leave my wireless connection disabled. I'm also the only one on my network who is afflicted by this.

Also, here is my logfile:

Oh, and I do have SP2.Hi fresh,

i think the cause is in the security settings in ur IE.

tools > internet options > advanced
scroll down to security
ensure SSL 2 and SSL 3 are both checked.

I have tried all(barring one or two) methods in your further reading link. All of them were fine. Sadly, I had turned off System Restore before this secure connection thing occured, so I can not do that. I will try the remaining methods later.
