    Correct your system date


    The security certificate has a validity date (as mentioned in the error), if your system time is ahead of that date, the browser shows the certificate as expired.


    All you need to do is to correct the date and time in the windows clock from the system tray.

    Thank you, boy do I feel silly.  It is the same as calling someone to fix your TV and he plugs it in....an tada! It works!


    Have a great day!

    No, not really, lol. Computers are a bit more challenging than a TV. Glad the fix worked. :)
