I keep getting this msg. when I try to connect to my mastercard account site. All other high security sites, banking etc. are allowing me in fine. I called the mastercard people and they say it is not from their end, it is something from my computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

just do not use the internet explorer mac edition.
this product is discontinued since 2002 and won't ever be fixed by microsoft. a software bug in this browser, prevents using sslv3 which is the current standard (and has been defined in 1996! almost 8 years before the latest version of internet explorer mac edition), and required by current security regulations from VISA or Mastercard for example.
even sslv2 where not fully available in ie mac edition (and some version of the windows-browser too) some encryption and hashing sheme's had to be disabled especially for internet explorer users (in the webservers (apache) config)
I recommend you change to a current version of safari, netscape, or mozilla.
btw. you won't find anything about this on the microsoft website. thats why i came here to look for another answer i could present our customers. but, the only thing you can do is to encourage everyone to not longer use ie mac edition.
anyway since recent news states that the firefox-team will stop support for sslv2 in next versions of the browser, it is clear that sslv2 will no longer be used. and so you will no more able to make onlinebanking, or pay with creditcards in internetshops. some kind of security, eh ? 😀
