Help me logon to my email!!

November 27, 2009 5:37 AM

Please help me fix an internet/computer problem....I keep getting the message "Invalid Security Certificate" when I try to logon to my email accounts. I'm trying to logon to both my gmail account and my msn account and this morning I get the message "google.com uses an invalid security certificate"?

This is just occuring, I was able to login last night. Does this have anything to do with a windows update that installed on my computer last night?

I try to logon to my MSN account and the exact same thing is occuring. The following message I get:

# This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

# If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Please help me fix this!

Best answer: is your date/time correct on your computer? double check that and see if anything happens.

good luck!

Firefox has a pretty good diagnostic system now for security certificates. If it says not valid yet and the date you see is in the past, your system clock is a good bet =)
