Please help. Just today I am unable to get into any sites that requir
a password. It keeps showing the "page can not be displayed". I didn'
change any settings. I'm not very knowledgeable about computers, but ca
usually find my way around. I'm very frustrated, any ideas
 
In Internet Explorer -
1. Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
2. Scroll down to the Security Settings.
3. Make sure that the two boxes are checked that say
"Enable SSL 2" or "Enable SSL 3".
Try your secure sites.

Another thing you can try is:
Go to start/run
Type in: regsvr32 softpub.dll
Press Enter or click OK

If none of the above is the problem, then some reading is in order -

Do you have any automatic updates for your computer enabled, such as for a
