What is causing the security certificate error message when I go to Netflix?

I have a 5 year old HP desktop, and for security purposes, run Microsoft Security Essentials and MalwareBytes about once a week. In addition, for my email, I use the free version of Spamfighter. None of these tools seem to ever catch anything. Also, I have IE 8. Up until about a week ago, I would occasionally get script errors on certain pages, at least on pages from Yahoo. That seems to have stopped, but now I'm getting the following message when I go to Netflix: "There is a problem with this site's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this web site was not issued by a trusted certificate authority."

I can't get to any of these addresses on this computer:

http://www.netflix.com/MemberHome

http://www.netflix.com/

https://www.netflix.com/login

I'm worried about logging onto any web sites. Can you please help me with some ideas for what might be causing this problem, what I can do to fix it, and prevent this from happening in the future?

Thanks--I really appreciate your help.

    This message basically means your browser cannot validate the ssl certificate from netflix and i think probably the issue of netflix (which is GEOTRUST) is removed from your certificate manager - trusted root certificate authority (certmgr.msc).

    Alright, no more story telling, you can try to update your root certificates through the URL below:

    Hope that by having the root updated can fix your problem.

    you may run an antivirus sweep. There are malicious courses waiting to reroute your places once you assume to pass to an internet site. that's, there are courses that could take a seat on your laptop, and then once you variety yahoo, it is going to deliver you to a pretend web site to learn password concepts. notably with secure practices being as much as date on login displays (facebook, yahoo,etc), your browser may well be choosing up in this. Its a initiate - sorry!
