First question you know I'm going to ask...

Does any other browser work? Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.

more or less dude.  i did tried with internet explorer and basically it tells me that the web pages i'm trying to see are insecure...

didn't check firefox tho... but i don't really think the browser is the problem.  could be, i'm going to try firefox right now.  i never had this problem before...

tks for answering tho...

Check with your isp, probably its blocking something.. maybe?
or your host file is messed up

It happens only with those sites?

A Google search for the IE error tells me the solution :).

Check your time and date!

"Security certificates are issued for given time periods. If IE determines that the current time (from your client computer) does not fall into the server certificate time range, it will give this error. In my case, I had accidentaly changed my local computer clock to the wrong year. Correcting this resolved the problem."

And looking at the time you edited the post and when the screenshot were taken, it looks a bit off. ;)

it happens because the security certificates are dated, so if your system time does not match the actual time then the certificate looks expired, even if your system time is set to the past

then it's not a similar error. it's a completely different error.

He asked why are you using Sarari.

I wouldn't recommend using it either tbh.

For what it's worth, I don't think the two reasons the PayPal representative gives in that article are very serious or even valid.

I personally always turn the so called "phishing filters" off because I can't be bothered with all the alerts they generate for perfectly legitimate sites. 

As for the green address bar for EV certificates, if I am in doubt, I can read the certificate details.  I suppose it may give a warm, fuzzy feeling to some, but if EV has any value at all, it is when dealing with a completely unknown website.  It simply means a stricter policy of certificate issuance.

I find that article objectionable because it makes the implication that Safari is somehow vulnerable -- when in fact it is not, it just doesn't have some features aimed at compensating for user stupidity and of questionable value even at that.
