Popup problem

Please help me to fix this problem.
When ever I logout my hotmail (email) account, the next window pop up and this message is on the screen.

{Safari can't verify the identity of the web "login.live.com".
The certificate for this website is invalid. You must be connecting to a website that is pretending to be "login.live.com", which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?}

Other issue is google tools window popup like every 5 second and I just keep canceling. That is bothering too much . Please help me to fix these issues.

Thanks in advance.

How about if you update your profile so it's accurate? You're not running 10.4.6 anymore.

That message you get when you logout of Hotmail doesn't say "You must be…", it says "You may be…"; big difference. All that means is that the security certificate expired, and Microsoft hasn't updated it yet. Why don't you just set it up through Mail and you won't have to login and deal with that anyway?

As for your Google Tools issue, what do you have installed from Google that might be causing that?

So, what version of Mac OS X are you really running; it's not 10.4.6. If the Google Earth application is giving you a popup message, what does it say, exactly? And again, why don't you just setup Mail os you can send and receive email through your Hotmail account, instead of logging into the web site?

If you don't want Google Earth to update, there should be an option in it's Preferences section to stop checking for updates; use it.

To setup Mail for your Hotmail account, do this:

Start Mail
Go to Mail » Preferences, and click on Accounts.
Click on the plus button (lower left) to add a new account.
Type must say POP, and give the account a description.

*You must fill in the following information correctly or the account will not work:*
*Incoming Mail Server:* pop3.live.com
Username: Your Hotmail address (with @hotmail.com, @live.nl or any other @live or @hotmail extension included)
Password: Your Hotmail password
Click on Continue
Set the *Outgoing Server* to smtp.live.com, then click Continue, and click Continue again.

If you do this right, you can now send and receive email through your Hotmail account with Mail.

HI,

*"Safari can't verify the identity of the web "login.live.com". The certificate for this website is invalid."*

Safari is telling you that the site may not be valid.

Go to your Finder and select Help from the Menu Bar. Type in: Evaluating Certificates.

Managing keys and certificates in the Keychain
