Hi, please check if the date and time of your computer is correct, if not then correct it then close and reopen your internet explorer. let me know if that works.

May be a virus

why you are getting this issue means because of the internet explorer.
>please go ahead and uninstall the internet explorer 8.0 from the add/remove programs
>restart the computer
>then the internet explorer 7.0 will open by default
>now try to access the facebook and the issue will get fixed.

IF you are on DSL, try reseting the modem by powering it down. Sometimes you lose the address and reseting the modem forces it to cough up a new one.

fix time and date ...it might not be ok ..and it sees that the certificate you are running it not in use until some time after ...and this might cause it ...if it is not this ...uninstall the explorer 7 ...it will roll back automatically on explorer 6 ...and all will be ok ...
so go to ..c panel ...add/remove programs....click on explorer and click remove ...follow the instructions...if you really want it ...you can reinstall it from the net ...and any errors will be gone..

Go onto your options by going into the tools and then pops section and allow hotmail as a pop up and see if it works. If it doesn't make sure the site isn't blocked by firewall on explorer.
Hope I helped

You can do either of two things:
In Internet Explorer, choose [Internet Options] under the [Tools] menu selection.
[Advanded] tab
scroll down to the "Security' section
UN-check the "Warn about invalid site certificates"
[OK] [OK] [OK]
close and restart Internet Explorer.

#2:
If not satisfied with iE8, you can un-install it and the previous version that you had will re-install itself (and keep all your favorites, etc. intact).
[Start] [Control Panel]
[Add/Remove Programs]
Scroll most of the way down to [Windows Internet Explorer 8]
[Remove]

3>In the run box type -> inetcpl.cpl
4>You will get the internet properties window
5> select programmes tab and click on reset

right click to internet explorer and select properties and goto advanced tab and then select restore defaults and then close the internet explorer and then open the IE
