I need assistance!
Each time I try to go to “My eBay� and/or “PayPal� I receive a “Microsoft
Security Alert� pop up window regarding security certificate which can not be
verified.

When this pop up appears, it freezes and locks itself; thus avoiding its
removal. It stays in the background while I go to other websites, but
prevents me from going to eBay and/or PayPal.

I have been going to and using these sites for years; now (from cyberspace)
they have a security problem and pose a rish to my computer!!??
Will appreciate some help and/or advice.

I would try going to Tools/Internet options/Security/Trusted sites/Sites.
Just add the address to your trusted sites, make sure you don't have the
https box checked and click okay. You may also have to go into the Advanced
tab and remove some of the checked boxes in security section.

I am unfamiliar with these two websites but suspect that something needs
updating. Do these have such a feature ? This is only one idea which, if
needed, hopefully would clear up the security problem. \\

They are two of the most popular websites. Normally they are no problem to
access. There would not be an update needed.
