How do you disable IE7's check for valid security certificate's? Visiting reliable sites and paying bills has become a real hassle and impossible because of IE7's blocking of sites, INCLUDING MICROSOFT!!!, with it's website's security certificate invalidation. Give me a break! Warning message when a user tries to connect to a secure Web site by using Internet Explorer 7: "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931850  SignatureGistcheckin > How do you disable IE7's check for valid security certificate's?

Give me a break! Dan, the message golfdufr received is the same one I have been receiving. I'm not sure what the root certificate store is, but, it seems like the "website's security certificate" message is a wide spread pain for a lot of IE7 users.

Give me a break! What's the exact wording of the message you're seeing? Are you sure your root certificate store isn't damaged?

That is the message I'd expect to see if your date was incorrectly set on your machine, or the certificate date is expired or in the future. The message makes this clear - "has expired" means the date on your pc is the same or after the certificate expiry date; "not yet valid" means your pc date is before the issue date of the certificate, or it's issue date is in the future. If you can post an example URL where you see this then it should make it easier to determine where the problem is. Dan I can give you a URL that you might check out - I know the certificate expired, but is there any way to get rid of the annoying notice, on this one site in particular anyway? https://www.bpsatlantic.com:2083/ Thanks. > golfdufr wrote on Sat, 30 Jun 2007 20:14:00 -0700: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Dan I don't think you can disable that warning, at least not that I've seen. And that site doesn't just have an expired cert (from almost a year ago!), but it's also not the correct Common Name (FQDN) either.

If this is the case for you (or possibly a different "flavor" of Symantec Security), Go to Tools > Manage Add Ons > Enable or Disable Add Ons. From there, you can then click "Publisher" to group the Symantec Add On's together and then Disable them. Close and Restart IE and...I hope this does the trick. I was pretty happy when it worked for me! I'm going to post this on all the threads that seem to have this problem because it seems to be pretty widespread and I can't believe there's such a problem with Microsoft IE & Symantec working together. > How do you disable IE7's check for valid security certificate's?

Give me a break! Thank you Brandon. I tried your suggestion and it worked. How $#(* annoying though! Having to disable the add-on nonetheless eliminates the use of Norton Confidential. > Fred, this just started happening to me as well and I was extremely > frustrated until I realized it was right after I installed Symantec's Norton [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > because of IE7's blocking of sites, INCLUDING MICROSOFT!!!, with it's > > website's security certificate invalidation. Give me a break! Update: I just got off of an excrutiatingly long chat session with Symantec. The upshot is that this is a known issue and "soon" they will release a patch via the usual automatic Live Update. Gods! > Thank you Brandon. I tried your suggestion and it worked.
