    I am having a strange issue with my IE. Whatever website I open, it gives me a security certificate error and I need to click on "not recommended" link. Its happening even on hotmail and facebook. Any idea to fix this.

    Thanks

    Check the security options of IE.
    Alternatively, Firefox is a great web browser.

    Tools > Internet Options. A panel should appear. On this panel you can change all sort of IE options. 2 places you can play is under the "Advance" tab and "Security" tab.

    spradhan01, set your computer's clock and date, because the computer checks the certificate's validity against your computer's clock.
