Check out the following points:

• Remove the virus that may have caused the conflict. If you have anti virus product installed, check for updates and run full system scan.
• Sign-out of MSN Messenger
• If you see the MSN Messenger icon in the System tray, right click on it and click Exit.
• Clear the Secure Sockets Layer state and AutoComplete history in Internet Options under the Content tab.

Try this:
First open a run window by clicking start, then run. Now, type the following command and press enter:

regsvr32 softpub.dll Wintrust.dll Initpki.dll Rsaenh.dll Mssip32.dll Cryptdlg.dll

If you use Windows XP you should open another run window after running the previous commands then type the following command:

regsvr32 Dssenh.dll Gpkcsp.dll Slbcsp.dll Sccbase.dll

Another good thing to try is to download the latest Internet Explorer and install it. This re-registers a ton of DLL's and also replaces any files that may have been messed up by SpyWare, etc.
