IE 7 does not open site using self signed certificate

Hi,

I am using a self signed certificate to demonstate a web solution
(currently under development). The site opens well in IE7 (after the
initial "There is a problem with this website's security certificate."
warning).

On one computer (which I do not own, nor control) the warning above
does not come up and the page refuses to load. Other https sites using
Verisign as a publisher work well.

Can anyone please help me make this site open the development project?
I have access (albeit limited) to the computer. After a visual
inspection, the protection that seems to be on this computer are the
following:

NOD32
Spyware Doctor
McAfee AV
Google toolbar

I would be mighty greatful if anyone might have encountered such a
problem and would share his solution.

Regards,
Al

This may lend some insight. I don't have ie7 on any of my boxes to
step you through the options settings, but likely there is a setting
on that particular computer that prevents the site from being viewed.

Import the certificate and you won't see it again. Make sure that you've
installed the Root Certificate update patch from Windows Update.

at some of the FILTH he's created and put on his website:
http://forums.speedguide.net/archive/index.php/t-223485.html all exposed

You can find the same information by googling for 'PCBUTTS1' and
'exposed to kids'.

I'll give it a bash and will get back to the group with the result.

Hi Todd,

Thank you for your input, but I'm afraid the same certificate works
well on other computers running the same version of the browser.
