    Yes.
    It works fine in the first profile.
    In my profile, when I created it, worked fine, and then it did not.

    I deleted my profile, made a new one, it worked the first day, next day it did not.
    What is going on?????

      You might reduce the problem my fusing the DNS cache.
      At command line say:
      ipconfig /flushdns
      it should respond:
      Windows IP Configuration
      Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.


      That may eliminate the SSL error.

      Have you run a virus scan?

      Should this be done in my profile or in any profile?


      Go back to a command prompt and type in the following::
      ipconfig /release and hit enter
      ipconfig /renew and hit enter...

      Re-boot and see if any changes.
      Should this be done in my profile or any profile?

      It can be done in any profile... but you need to be connected at the time...
      In your report from when you tried it says "media disconnected" which means you weren't connected.

        I just tried again, this time in the other user's profile under admin command prompt and it still tells me I am disconnected.
        I don't know why, I am connected to the internet.

            There is Wi-Fi and Ethernet.  I am not sure what you are asking?  Can you specify?

              Of note, when I use yahoo or google as my search box, I get the error.
              When I use bing, it is fine.  However, when I typed gmail into the bing search box, I got results but when I clicked on gmail, I got the error.
              Really weird.

                Open Networks and Sharing from Control Panel.

                Is this what you wanted?

                    Unbelievable.
                    So I deleted my profile, and created a new one.
                    It worked perfect for two weeks, suddenly today though I got the same problem, "an untrusted connection" and it can't open.
                    *censored*?
