Annoying 'security certificate' messages

Huh?

I could have worded that more clearly, but I have Windows Update under Tools
in the IE Menu Bar in IE6, 7, 8 & 9.

AB may be thinking of the Command Bar (the one with the icons) instead of the Menu Bar. On the Command Bar, Windows
Update is under the Safety icon.

Thanks SC Tom. Now I found the Command Bar and the Windows Update
selection.

New problem: when I invoked it and was taken to the MS Windows Update
page I got a message about needing ActiveX which I believe I have. But
the page said it couldn't dispay properly and selections that I wanted
I couldn't access. I followed the instructions to find ActiveX & load
but it lead to nowhere. Didn't see any option for security
certificates update so did a search. What I found was from 11/11 and
only mentioned IE 7 so I didn't download.

I appreciate all the help from you both, but I give up. Will move to
a different browser and soon to a Mac. I'm so tired of all this MS
control, dead end leads and wasting my time.
