Q: How can I fix secure link to itunes?

It just sits there with the progress bar saying accessing itunes store.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Do you have the old Windows Live Family Protection internet filter installed? If so, try uninstalling that.

Old filters can include LSPs that can interfere with iTunes, producing the iTunes symptoms you're getting. Hence the suggestion to uninstall that particular filter.

It doesn't appear in your Uninstall a program control panel?

Drat. Okay ... that entry in Autoruns is the likeliest candidate for the cause of the problem. If we can't remove it by uninstalling an associated program, we could try clearing the Winsock registry keys manually.

Let's try wiclee's instructions from the following post:
