Warning: The retired, out-of-support Internet Explorer 11 desktop application has been permanently disabled through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10. For more information, see Internet Explorer 11 desktop app retirement FAQ.

Support for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ends on July 12, 2011. To continue receiving security updates for Windows, make sure you're running Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2). For more information, refer to this Microsoft web page: Support is ending for some versions of Windows.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • In a network environment, you are running Windows Internet Explorer 7 on a Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer or on a Windows Server 2008-based computer.

  • You configure the following Group Policy settings for Internet Explorer:

    • You enable the "Locked-Down Local Machine Zone Template" policy.

    • You disable the "Web sites in less privileged Web content zones can navigate into this zone" policy.

  • You try to visit a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Web site by using Internet Explorer 7 on the computer on which you applied these Group Policy settings.

In this scenario, the following certificate error Web page is displayed:

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.

Continue to this website (not recommended) .

More information

If you arrived at this page by clicking a link, check the website address in the address bar to be sure that it is the address you were expecting. When going to a website with an address such as https://example.com, try adding the 'www' to the address, https://www.example.com. If you choose to ignore this error and continue, do not enter private information into the website. For more information, see "Certificate Errors" in Internet Explorer Help.
