Websites Displaying Content with Security Certificate Errors

Can anyone explain what those yellow banners on the top of the screen that say "Internet Explorer blocks websites displaying content with security certificate errors, etc." mean and why they keep you our of certain websites and how you can get rid of them? (Sorry for the run-on sentence/question.)

Thank you!

It means there is a problem with the sites security certificate.
There should be a "Continue to this website (not recommended)" message. I would not recommend doing that unless it is a site you know and trust.
In IE10 you can not disable that feature.

The following link will provide more information.

As a note, if you get these to even popular sites such as Google or Facebook, make sure your system time is correct. If your clock drifts too far back or into the future, it's going to break SSL on you.
