Hello friends!

Whenever I try to open any secured site i.e. htttps site, my browser shows a screen which says "This connection is untrusted and to continue, it asks me to add an exception". This is happening in all https site like SBI, HDFC, IRCTC etc. This never happened earlier and all these sites opened normally till yesterday. I even tried different browsers bit the problem is the same.

Then I tried to open the same site on a different PC connected on the same network and the site opened normally. This means that the problem is just with one PC.

What exactly is happening? Can this be because of some virus attack or is this normal and safe?

Please help.

Check your system date and time settings.
This sometimes happen when the date in your system is not current date.
If this does not solve the issue, try clearing your browser's cache, history etc.
Also try running a malware scan.

There can be a couple of possibilities with your problem.
1. Data time issue as said by vignesh.
2. Mallware.. - you need to do a through check on your computer.
