The above nearly says it all - but at present only getting this error on this computer on ONE of my banks. On my netbook I get this on other sites, including the virgin.net site.

As I only get this error using Firefox I assume it is an error within Firefox.

thanks, can you try to disable ssl scanning in bitdefender's options and see if this is making a difference? http://www.bitdefender.com/support/what-to-do-when-security-certificates-cannot-be-verified-installed-1090.html

The problem was SSL Scanning in Bitdefender and they say there will be an update shortly to rectify the issue. I just had to open the Bitdefender interface, go to Protection, then web Protection and switch off SSL Scanning. Thanks for your help
