I'm not sure if I am in the right forum. I have a wireless network (Netgear Wireless Router) with an ASUS laptop (Windows 7) and a Dell Dimension (Windows XP) on it. I'm getting SSL Errors that say "Something is currently interfering with your secure connection to <enter website>. The websites in question are www.twitter.com, www.wordpress.com, and the login to www.toshiba.com. These websites were working fine at one point. I've run virus scans (Norton) and malware scans (Malwarebytes - actually found some malware), and a scan of the rootkits. I still cannot connect to these sites. I've also checked the computer clock as well for correct date/time. What else can I do?

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago - the problem was the DNS servers I was using (it was Google DNS). I had to change to OPENDNS servers.

I assume it's happening on both computers? Have you tried connecting one computer directly to your modem? If the issue affects both devices it's probably something in your router.
1. Try a computer direct to the modem, if that resolves your issue: power cycle your router and if need be, reset it to factory defaults.

There may be something weird set in your proxy settings - try typing this command (it will reset proxy settings on the computer):
netsh winhttp reset proxy
netsh winhttp reset proxy

so chkdsk /F C: - since it's only on the XP machine, what browsers have you tried? Have you reset your internet settings, checked the proxy settings in Internet Options?
