Recently had a Mal-Ware issue that I cleaned up with Mal-WareBytes. I have run subsequent scans that come up clean. However, I am having an issue with accessing ceertain sites. All the sites I cant get to require a logon (not necesarilly https:// sites) but it is not every log-in site.
For example I was able to log into EE fine, but I cannot log into Facebook or Yahoo or Hotmail.
Tried to sift through the web but cant seem to find anything that works to get it back to working order.
Please help! Thanks in advance for your time!

AOL (which I dont ever really use) seems to work. But that seems the only https site I can pull up. Some of the sites dont actually say https:\\ but guessing they are since its not the main page taht fails but the login attempt.
Tried the softpub.dll re-register.
Have Google installed but this is a recent occurence after I cleaned up some Mal-Ware
Forgot to mention... make sure the date and time are correct on your system.
There are several things that can be looked at from here. Try to post as much behavioral information as you can...the more info the better. Look for any errors in the application, system, and security logs that may be pertinient, make sure your firewall isn't blocking 443 for some reason... lots of things can cause problems accessing secure sites.
Yes it is a page cannot be displayed error with most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address
(none of which are true)

I have run the winsockfix program and it still does not fix the problem.
I do not know if this is relevant Im just a simple MS Project Guru....I certainly appreciate your help. Starting to wonder if I am doing more harm than good trying to fix it myself instead of just taking it to a PC Doc.
What OS are you running? If it's xp that command may have to be netsh winsock reset catalog
For XP, there's always the good old winsock fix too... migh wanna backup / export hkey_local_machine\system\
and
hkey_local_machine\system\
prior to running...

dorkestra,
Sorry I have been away from this question for some time. Lots of little things popping up before the end of the year. I have tried all the suggestions and still have no resolution. I have decided to take it in and have someone else look at it before I damage anything any further.
I really appreciate all your time and effort and will reward you the points on that basis. Thanks for your patience and excellent suggestions.
