How to Delete VeriSign
A "VeriSign" certificate is a layer of networking security utilized by Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. The certificate is used to determine if certain websites you attempt to view are "trusted" or "safe" to access. If the website is deemed "not safe," you will get a notification and the VeriSign certificate will prevent the Web page from opening. Removing the VeriSign certificate may allow you to access needed websites, but it will also potentially leave your computer at risk of malevolent security threats, and you should only delete it if absolutely necessary.
