Even though that's what you're here for, huh?

Anyhow, recently my computer has spazzed and not allowed me to go to secure sites. [ie, bank accounting and hotmail accounts] Thinking a virus or spy-/adware was to blame, a new anti-virus program [EZArmor] and a new spy-/adware removal prograrm [Webroot's Spy Sweerp] were obtained, installed, and run. All traces of spy-/adware and viruses that could be found were deleted. Still had the issues. So, I went to Cameron [I believe he's a member here] for help and advice. He recommended HijackThis, which I ran and then posted my log here. 3 logs later, my computer is clean as a whistle [with huge thanks due to Tyler for this] and immensely relieved off unnecessary and irritating programs, freeing up a lot of space in the process. Sadly, though, I've still the issues with not being able to access https:// sites. Any help, please?

Make sure the following registry Keys and Values exist, you can do this by opening the registy editor (Start > Run > Regedit > Ok).

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Name: (Default)
Value: IDispatch
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Interface\{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32
Name: (Default)
Value: {00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Use Registry Editor to remove the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\SecurityProviders\Schannel

NOTE: This registry key is rebuilt when you start Internet Explorer.

What Firewall are you using Sixty? and have you checked all the security settings?
Here is a tip i found on the internet as well:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. Type regsvr32 softpub.dll
4. Click OK. A pop-up should display with the message Dll Register Server in softpub.dll Succeeded.
5. Click OK.
Try deleting your cookies and temporary internet files as well.
Let us know if this doesn't work
[EDIT] *Must learn to type faster* :rofl:

You both beat me :bawling:

I did everything you said, Jazzman, up until that last one. For one, there's no folder HKLM at all. That, and I'm not sure I understand what you're wanting me to remove... the entire folder SChannel?

I also followed Vidster's advice. No go for everything I tried.

You will need to go to start run regedit, then follow that advice. But Jazzman already said that!

I did. There's
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

Unless of course I managed to somehow open the wrong program..

Oh, I forgot to answer your question, Jazzman. I was running Norton Personal Firewall, until this happened. I believe it stopped working due to this problem, considering they happened at practically the same moment.
