It does seem to happen far too much - nearly every 'secure' site that I
access, for it to be all of those web sites. I have also rebuilt this
computer on various occasions and/or installed a second instance of Windows
enough times to conclude that it does not appear to be any particular
installation and/or accumulation of cookies or temp files etc. This has been
a problem for me for years. That it happens with such precise predictability
is what makes me think there must be some setting in Advanced IE settings
that I select perhaps - regarding "use ssl" or one of the others in that
area. I also use Norton Internet Security for a firewall. Is there some
default port that the secure sites first attempt to use and it has to cycle
through a whole range that I perhaps have blocked until it finds one to use?
I am just grasping at straws there but would like to figure out what is
going on.
