I'm having the same problem: I cannot open https sites, there is a certificate error. First encountered it around 12 noon GMT on Sunday, 24 January 2016. Using Mac OS X 10.9.5 (on 2012 Macbook Pro) as a host and Windows 7 Home Premium as the guest OS. I'm using Parallels 8. The problem appears when using Internet Explorer and Chrome. It does NOT appear for Firefox.
I tried to fix this problem in several ways. However, none of them worked. Here is what I tried:
- Check date of Windows OS - it's fine
- Enable SSL 2 & 3 in IE
- Reinstall .dll files
- Set up a completely new Windows 7 Home Premium virtual machine
I'm particularly surprised that reinstalling Windows 7 (last point) didn't work. This and the fact that the two guys above encountered the same problem yesterday make me believe that the problem lies with Parallels. My guess is an incompatibility with one of the Windows 7 updates from Sunday, 24 January 2016.
Please keep me updated on a possible fix. This is a severe problem for me.
