I've rebuilt my PC (windows vista sp2) after a complete system crash caused by a rootkit virus and I'm now having problems with valid sites such as facebook, skype, and network solutions. I keep getting an invalid certificate error even when I export/save the certificate. My computer clock is set properly and I've gone through every step recommended on mozilla help for the invalid certs....please help me! These sites come up perfectly in Explorer...

Vivek, Thank you for your quick response. Where is this file? Also, I've already triple-checked my SSL settings and everything checks out...any other suggestions would be most appreciated...
