I have the SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 selected in my internet
options. Some sites that I know work on another computer
redirect me to a Quick! search site.
 
I read this in another forum worth a try.
Can't get to secure sites

go to START -> RUN -> type

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wintrust.dll

Also make sure you have 128 bit encryption and the time is correct on your
PC

==========================================
This is probably due to a spyware program
but could also possibly be a virus.

Let's do this:

Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab

Delete all cookies
Delete all temporary internet files
(include all offline content)
Remove all Downloaded Program Files
To do that, you click on that "settings"
button and then click on the "View Objects"
button and then right click and choose remove
for all of them, if any, one at a time.
Close the Downloaded Program Files window,
Click OK to the Settings window.
Now clear History

Now click on the "Advanced" tab at the top
of Internet Options.
In the browsing section, uncheck the box for
"Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)"
Click "Apply" and then "OK" at the bottom
of Internet Options
Close out of Control Panel
Restart the computer

Download one or both of these Anti Spyware programs
and install them and scan your system and delete any
spywares. You can also update these programs and then
scan again. If you have a working Anti Virus program,
then update it and scan with it, otherwise use one of
the free online virus scanners:

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2

Symantec

Once you are sure you are clean of spywares and viruses,
you may need to follow this Microsoft KB article to get secure sites working again:

HOW TO: Troubleshoot Situations Where You Cannot Complete
MSN Sign-up pr Connect to SSL Secured (128-Bit) Web Sites by
Using Internet Explorer in Windows XP

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;813444

You might want to try this part of that article first:

1.. Click Start, and then click Run.
2.. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
3.. At the command prompt, type the following lines and press ENTER after each line:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

4.. Click OK when you receive the message that DllRegisterServer in FileName succeeded.
5.. Type exit to quit Command Prompt.
6.. Restart the computer
7.. Test to see if secure sites are working again
