I decided to give the Google Chrome browser a try. After installing I found that I could not connect to Google Drive and other Google sites. I kept getting the red-box error:
"The site's security certificate is not trusted!..."
The biggest problem was there was just a single "BACK" button in the red-box there was no option to proceed anyway like in Firefox or IE. Basically if I couldn't get to Google apps online Chrome would be useless to me.
So I googled away at the issue and could not get a clear answer even from Google Groups etc. All the answers ran the gamut of sites being hijacked to my system being infected. I knew there was no problem with my system since I had no issues reaching Google Drive etc in Firefox. After a little more diligent searching I came across the hint here:

It turns out I was missing a Windows root certificate update pushed earlier this year. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125
I downloaded it after validating my system and that fixed my issue. You would think that Google Support would have this as one of the first things to check for this issue
