Internet Explorer 7 adds new visual cues and features that make it easy for a user to see whether they are on a secure site, and to check that the certificate matches the site they are visiting.

A new Security Status icon appears next to the Address Bar whenever we visit a secure site. If Internet Explorer detects a possible problem with a certificate (for example, if the certificate has been revoked), the address bar may have a red background and access to the Web site may be blocked by an intermediary page.

By clicking on the padlock next to the address bar when visiting a secure site, we can easily access the most important information about the certificate:

After you have viewed the certificate, you can choose to trust the website by performing the following steps.  By choosing to trust the website you will no longer get the Certificate Warning Page.

First you will see this Certificate Warning Page appear when logging into a secured site.

Click on Continue to this website (not recommended)

You will be presented with the red Address Bar and certificate warning:



Click on the Certificate Error button to open the information window.



Click on View Certificates. Then click on Install Certificate.

You'll see yet another warning.



Click on yes, then you're done.
