Has Microsoft just prevented me from ever allowing me to play?

[Ad.Norington]

recently, microsoft releced a feture that is suposed to block sites that steal personal information. But, in the good old fasioned style of microsoft, there is a HUGE bug. when ever you go to log in to ANYTHING, be it your email adress or a website, it tells you that it dosn't have a security certificate, and is unsafe. This is OK, because you can surpass it with one click. But today I went to log into second life, a program that gets to the net in much the same way potco would, it says I cant get to the login server. So, I put two and two together, and i realized that it was because of the update by microsoft. and since second life is somthing you download, i could not surpass the block. So, i have just wasted my afternoon with microsoft customer servace, geting nowhere, and I realized: If second life can't log in, then why would potco be able to? so alarm bells started going off in my head, and I am no so angry at microsoft it's not even funny. I need to get past this before potco comes out, or I cant get to it. If anyone can offer any help, please give it.

Did you try turning off protected mode in internet explorer?

And putting your security settings low in internet explorer?

If it's any consolation I haven't been able to connect to the login server for 3 or 4 days... and as far as I know I haven't downloaded anything MS related.
