Not able to access secure websites

[Krisuk]

For some reason in Internet Explorer, I can't access any secure websites whatsoever. It just happened all of a sudden one day but now can't access anything where a secure website is involved such as logging into an eBay account, Facebook account etc.

I just get a page cannot be displayed error.

SSL and TSL are both enabled and I can't see anything else in security that's wrong. Security settings are not too high either and content advisor is disabled.

Everything works fine in Firefox but want to put the problem with IE right.

I'm afraid that's all the detail I have about the cause of the problem just happening all of a sudden as it's not my machine but reset IE settings and triple checked security settings but can't find anything wrong!

I don't review logs for malware, but I did look at your log. You say both SSL and TLS are enabled- there are 2SSL layers in IE6. did they drop one in IE7? If not, all should be in Internet options> Advanced tab> Security section> SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 should all be checked.

Since this problem has recently occurred, you can try doing a system Restore to date right before it began.

I see a great deal of unnecessary processes running. and you're very heavy on media- phone, and several different photo programs. Are you using all of this? If not, get rid of it! Uninstall what you don't use, stop Services not needed.

You also show ssmmgr.exe which if for the Samsung monitor manager and the Lexmark LexBCS server running. Do you have a Lexmark printer?

Why are these running?
kservice.exe is a process which belongs to the Delivery Manager Service.
GoogleUpdaterService.exe
SpeedTouch USB\Dragdiag.exe
PicasaMediaDetector.exe
jusched.exe

 

[DelJo63]

Why are these running?

Googling for the names I found:

kservice.exe                   Appears to be part of Sky Broadband
GoogleUpdaterService.exe       Goolge update service
SpeedTouch USB\Dragdiag.exe   dragdiag.exe is installed with Alcatel ADSL modems
PicasaMediaDetector.exe      Media detector for Picasa's automatic photo organizer
jusched.exe                     Java Update service

I personally disdain autoupdaters and prefer manual update, and so would delete
GoogleUpdaterService & jusched
