I am having this problem since several months ago. Everytime I go to a https site I am always having this kind of an error.

Secure Connection Failed

www.xxxxxxx.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
The certificate expired on 5/23/2008 7:59 AM.
(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)
* 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.

Or you can add an exception…

Anyone is welcome to give suggestion/solution to this problem.

I hear that you can fix that specific error code simply by synchronizing your clock. All you have to do is right click on your clock and then select "Adjust/Date/Time". Once you're there, select the "Internet Time" tab and then choose server time, hit "Update Now" and then apply the changes.

I checked my time and so far its correct per checking. I've been to the "Internet Time" tab and what is placed there is "time.windows.com" the only option I have in there plus "time.nist.com". I updated it already and the problem stays the same.

Also I noticed that because of these errors I am not able to get manual updates from Wndows update.
