I'm getting Secure Connection Failed on every website.

I've tried numerous things, and nothing is working. I'm currently using IE to make this message, as I wasn't even able to make an account on Firefox.

Every website I visit I'm getting 'Secure Connection Failed'.

My time and date is correct, I've got no Malware, there's no security add-ons blocking anything through Firefox, I've deleted Cert8 (found a random troubleshoot thing with various people that fixed by using that), and I've also turned 'security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling' to temporarily being False, as I saw that somewhere on this support site, and nothing is working.

It only started happening today.

Thanks in advanced!

What is your computer system and Firefox?

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.
