Hi, this is abhishek here, ( abhishek0216 in the forum: http://forums.cnet.com/5208-4_102-0.html?forumID=5&threadID=257631&messageID=2547763#2547763)
Well buddy, rather than posting it to the forum I decided to contact you personally. As you can see my profile I am true IT_GEEK, and you have helped me solve the problem and thanks for the same.
Well now what I wanted regarding the problem I was facing as was suggested by you to see some articled you had posted.
I have found a article which has identified my problem. The url is: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;296241
It states that I am required to import a certificate because the required certificate was removed from my computer.
Now since I have no back up copies of that certificate I would therfore request you to export the certificate and send it to me by email at: (email removed)
The procedure to export the certificate is listed in the article:
"http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;296241" and I am also pasting it here for your convenience:
1. Locate a Windows 2000-based computer.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type: MMC.
4. When Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is displayed, click Console, and then click Add/Remove Snap-in.
5. On the Add/Remove window, click Add.
6. When the list of available snap-ins are displayed, click Certificates, and then click Add.
7. Click Computer Account.
8. Click Next.
9. Click Local Computer, and then click Finish.
10. Click Close, and then click OK to close out the Add/Remove Snap-in window.
11. Under Console Root, double-click Certificates (Local Computer).
12. Double-click Trusted Root Certificate Authorities, and then double-click Certificates.
13. In the right pane, the installed certificates are displayed. Scroll down the list until you locate the No Liability Accepted certificate.
14. Right-click this certificate, click All Tasks, and then click Export.
15. On the Export Wizard, click Next, click DER encoded Library X.509, and then click Next.
16. In the File name box, enter a file name to save the file (for example, C:\Cert). A .cer extension is added to the file name.
Please do mail me directly as soon as you recieve this message. I am looking forward for your reply.
Bye buddy,
take care
Abhishek

Subject: RE: OK Dont send the certificate but.....
Message:
Well, Dango I think you are suspecting me as somekind of hacker or cracker or some similar stuff like that right???.
But if that is the case, you are completely WRONG, I was not asking for the certificate specifically from your system( you might have thought that I may be a hacker who wants to penetrate my system my getting system info about my system ) .
I am just a plain app developer, and I do not indulge in such business. The reason you have helped and provided some valuable suggestions I thought you may also help me to carry out the last step to solve my problem. But alasss you are thinking otherwise.
I thought you may become my FRIEND and we can discuss and try to help each other out in our problems.
The last thing I want to say is that:
The internet world is full of good and bad things but you have to be enlightened enough to identify that who are good and who are bad.
And... I was not asking specifically the certificate from your machine, you could also give me a link on the web where I could have downloaded the certificate.
And lastly,
What could I say, good luck for whatever you are doing and the rest of your life.

I do not know if abhishek0216 is trying too scam me but I will not take that risk. It is better to error on the side of safety on the net. A health bit of sceptisim could avoid many problems for me and my family. abhishek0216 has perhaps made an error. I will not continue to communicate with him. We each must decide for ourselves whom and whom not to trust while surfing the net. I will let the forum viewers decide if I am an enlightened individual, abhishek0216 and they will decide about you as well.
