i cant access secure sites and i think it may be because PCT 1.0.  doesnt show up in my internet options. is there anyway i can download this at all. can anyone help?   fanks

There's many things that could cause this, I've listed them all below.

------------------------------------------------------------

Open IE, go to TOOLS > Internet Options > Advanced and scroll to bottom of list. Options there are for SSL, TLS, etc. Make sure they are all on.

------------------------------------------------------------

Open IE and click Help, About Internet Explorer Look at Chiper
Strength it should be 128 bit.

------------------------------------------------------------

Download and install Sun Java (I know it may sound daft but it did help someone in a similar problem)

------------------------------------------------------------

Change your MTU settings in WAN to 1492

------------------------------------------------------------

Control Pannel > Administrative tools > Local Security Settings

Open up Local Policies > Security Options

Verify that "System Cryptogrophy: Use FIPS compliant algorythms for encryption" is set to disabled.

You will need to restart the system for this to take effect.

------------------------------------------------------------

Also try and download Mozilla Firefox and see if the problem happens in that browser.
