I just spent an hour trouble shooting my mother's computer over the phone. Apparently, all the certificates were throwing up errors and giving the scary message that someone might be hijacking your computer session. One thing I forgot to check was the date on the computer which got reset and the date mismatch was forcing every secure website to report scary messages.
