Windows 7 Upgrade from XP Pro IE 8 Certificate Errors

My PC was recently upgraded from XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro. I had IE 8 before
on XP, but now I am getting certificate errors for many of the sites that I
regularly visit including our companies own intranet site, google mail,
several financial institutions websites, etc. I know these sites are safe,
but I cannot figure out what the upgrade process has done to my system to
cause me to get these certificate errors. I have spent much time googling,
and tried many different IE setttings, double checked the date time setting
on my machine etc. all to no avail. PLEASE HELP!!! Below is the error
message I recieve from our own intranet site. I can click continue, and
proceed on to the sites in most cases (even though it is not recommended).
