IE Security

Occasionally I browse secure websites where the certificate is invalid, usually it's been signed with the machine's name, but I'm accessing it from another web address. IE7 always brings up a big warning page that forces me to ignore their advice and go view the site anyway (I can turn the option off, but I'd rather click it the few times it's necessary rather than allow all dodgy sites to get through). This has worked fine until very recently. I noticed the problem at Tom's place over the weekend, he was using IE6, but it had the same problem where it shows the ieframe.dll page instead of the website (I ended up using Firefox, which was less fussy). I did a quick search earlier today on Google and found nothing was jumping out at me. I worked out that I could view secure websites with valid certificates without any trouble, but I also noticed that some scripting didn't appear to be working properly. So I went to the Security tab in IE and hit the "Reset all zones to deault level" button to see if that made a difference, and everything seems to be fine again. Now I just need to work out why my settings weren't on the defaults!
