This may or may not be related to issues with online banking sites that
people have mentioned, but I'll mention it here anyway just to muddy up
the waters.
A couple of weeks ago, I suddenly could not log into a critical web site
here at work. I had just received a bunch of Microsoft updates the
previous night. I restored my system to just before the updates were
installed, and I suddenly could again log into that critical site. I
started adding updates back, one at a time, and testing my ability to log
into that site. I eventually found the culprit, Update KB2661254 Minimum
key length for certificates. This update altered the behavior of Internet
Explorer on web sites that used a certificate with a key length of less
than 1024 bits. Essentially, it won't work. I had to uninstall KB2661254
and all is happy now. This update did not effect the way that FireFox
interacted with these web sites.
This is definitely not Al's problem as he said that when his wife clicked
on the link, it worked.
