SSL Certificate Error

[Pharaoh Llandy]

I need helps. I can't access outlook/hotmail web client on my PC. Here's the Firefox error message:

And Chrome...

Internet Explorer...

Googling for fixes has been surprisingly unhelpful. Best advice I've found is to update Windows, particularly any security updates, which I've done. Now fully updated, and still no Hotmail.

I'm running Win 8.1 here. I also run it on my laptop, but my hotmail does work on my laptop. The computers are on a Homegroup, not that that should affect anything.

Please helps!

Obviously it views you as malware.  Perhaps stop sending out the ransomware.

Hum. There was a major security certificate cockup-on Micorsoft's end a month back, but that's supposed to be fixed already. And Chrome didn't care enough about security to let the user know the certificates were signed by wrong people :\

Tested hotmail on Pale Moon just, worked fine.

Other https pages giving errors? Got "security" software hijacking https connections?

I do have ESET antivirus, and it did throw a fit a few weeks ago about the website, but even when I temporarily disable the AV, I can't log in to the mail without getting the SSL error.

The laptop has ESET too, but I only used the laptop after all the microsoft issues, so the AV never picked up on it and it's been fine. Do you think uninstalling and reinstalling the AV on my PC might help?

Think that might be an overkill.

See if this'll do the trick. Though I'd recommend leaving the SSL filtering off completely, due to reasons explained in the last link of my previous post. Or in a nutshell, it actually decreases browser security.

Update! I disabled https and SSL scanning in my AV, and now it can load. Thanks for pointing me towards it!
