Solve a Certificate Error
A certificate error in Internet Explorer occurs when a website's security certificate is invalid. When Internet Explorer detects an invalid security certificate, the browser will produce an error message. The certificate error feature is a protective measure that guards against malicious websites. You can solve the certificate error with the use of Microsoft's registry editor tool.
