I get a message that says: "this connection is not approved" whenever I try to access ANY Web site

I looked through previous questions and remove any software suspicious (it was not really, just a Bing bar). I deleted firefox and reloaded it. I bought Norton Antivirus and ran a scan - nothing. Date and time on my computer are correct. Explorer works very well. Help! I prefer firefox, but I can't access ANY Web site. I get this message every time.

I've been down all the instructions on the Firefox support forum, and nothing has worked. The question may not be the Web site certificate, because it happens to EVERY SINGLE website I try to access. Nevertheless, I have add an exception for Facebook according to the instructions. That caused a strange page, not formatted to come. Since, I have read that to make an exception is dangerous because it can cause MORE unwanted malware to infect the computer.

However, I did figure it out on my own so maybe this will help those who are facing this problem in the future: after reading the past messages from those who have experienced the same thing, I realized that, in all cases, the solution was to remove some kind of unwanted software (malware). I'm very careful NOT to download the software and I noticed that another victim of this says the same thing, so it's sneaky. I even bought new software (Norton) antivirus, performed a scan and the problem has not been found.

I went to programs "to uninstall programs," sorted by date and anything that looked suspicious that was recently removed. I had something with the word "rocket" in it. It looked like a game. There is also another program that I removed (don't remember the name of it now). Removing those does not solve the problem, so I returned through all programs on my list and removed something that said "toolbar" on this topic, even if it was reliable (I had a bing and google toolbar). That doesn't seem to work either so I sort the programs by date again and I noticed that the software "rocket" was ALWAYS THERE.

I have a click with the right on it and then click on 'uninstall' button again. It takes unusually LONG for this program uninstall AND nothing appears on the screen. The computer has just sort of is there and does nothing. I left and when I came back (about an hour later) the program had disappeared from the list.

Firefox now works. I no longer receive this message, but here's the deal: I'm not 100% sure what program was the problem. It was this software of rocket or one of the toolbars. Nevertheless, the answer always seems to be some kind of unwanted malware, so I recommend that any victim of this problem try to uninstall the suspicious programs initially. And this means that ALL suspicious programs are RECENT, regardless of if they resemble games or antivirus or another. If it is new and you do not download it, uninstall it.
