344701 2005-04-14 01:59:00 Just recently, Windows XP Pro has started popping up these "Security Alert - Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate ... blah blah blah ... do you want to proceed?"

This often pops up on sites I regularly visit such as Hotmail, Ebay etc.

I have gone into Internet Options / Advanced and un-checked "Warn about invalid site certificates" but still this damn thing keeps comin' back to annoy me..

What I can't work out is why it's just started recently. I am running SP1 - have not upgraded to SP2 yet.

All there is are three buttons "YES", "NO", "VIEW CERTIFICATE". This is after the piece that says "Do you wish to proceed".
