Internet Explorer uses the AOL Certification technology for security purposes. These certification techniques help the user to avoid malicious and unsafe websites. There may be some issue in the setup, and because of these websites of AOL may be shown as Untrustworthy and Malicious. If you are facing any issue, then your browser can use the benefits of the AOL certification.

If you want to resolve this issue by-yourself then you can use these three tricks:

  1. By Adjusting the Time and Date in The Device.
  2. Configuration Issue in Proxy Server.
  3. By Disabling the Revocation of server Certificate.

So if you wish to remove this glitch from your device, you have to follow these steps:

1. By Adjusting the Time and Date in The Device

The error in the AOL Certification can be caused due to expired products, even when the Date and Time of your device are incorrect (date beyond the expiration date of the AOL Certificate.)

To adjust the Time and Date, you have to follow these steps:

  • Find the section where the date and time are displayed. Right, click on it.
  • Tap on the Adjust Date/Time option among the others.
  • If you want that it detects the right Time and Date, then you have to enable the option “Set Time Automatically” by clicking on the toggle button.
  • You can set the automatic detection of the time zone by clicking on the toggle button in front of ” Set Time Zone Automatically.”
  • Otherwise, set both manually, for that you have to make sure that the toggle buttons are turned off.
  • Tap on “Change” to set both time/date and time zone.
  • Then set date and time as per your requirement.

2. Configuration Issue in Proxy Server

Sometimes glitches in the Proxy Servers can lead you to the error message. This issue can be pretty annoying. So if you see the error message on the AOL website, you should check the configuration of the Proxy servers.

To do that you have to follow these steps:

  • Open Internet Explorer.
  • Click on Menu Bar’s “Tool” option.
  • Tap on the “Internet Options” in the list of Tools.
  • Go to “Connections,” then pick your internet provider.
  • Tap on the “Settings” by which you can reach out to the configuration page of that proxy connection.
  • Uncheck the box of “Automatically detect Settings,” which can be located under “Automatic Configuration.”
  • Tap on the option ” Use a Proxy Server for this Connection.”
  • Manually provide the proxy setting.
  • Now click on the Save button to save the changes done by you.
  • Double click on OK button will exit the setting page.
  • After this, exit from the Internet  Explorer, and Re-launch it, and check the issue is resolved or not.

3. By Disabling the Revocation of server Certificate

  • Open Internet Explorer.
  • Go to “Connections,” then pick your internet provider.
  • Tap on the tab “Advanced.”
  • Go to the section “Security.”
  • Uncheck the box of “Check For Server Certification Revocation” (if it is unchecked from before then do nothing here).
  • Now click on the Save button to save the changes done by you.
  • Double click on OK button will exit the setting page.

AOL suggests that users should use the browsers that support AOL services. Browers that support AOL are Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
