Hi - I am trying to order certs online from above website, but I get a message saying there is a problem with website's security cert. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!

I have been having trouble also. There is a thread of mine posted within the last few days, last reply yesterday, which might help you, I still haven't solved my problem, GRO still rejecting my credit card.

Hi Deborah, I can't even get as far as making the payment - but since I received your reply I tried it on my son's lap-top and it worked! So I dont understand how it's ok on his lap-top and not my desk-top!

Best Wishes

may be it is something to do with the security system of your own computer that is not allowing you to do the connection.


Check the status of your security.

What browser are you using?

I had a similar scenario - some websites gave that error on my desktop, but were fine on my laptop.
Desktop was Internet Explorer 6, Laptop was Internet Explorer 7 (with the tabs across the top). When I upgraded the browser on the desktop, no more messages.
