Explanation

Since the third-party browser works fine but Internet Explorer still shows the error, the old expired certificate is cached or stored within IE's certificate store. In Internet Explorer's Internet Options, the 'Content' tab contains a 'Certificates' button that opens the Certificate Manager, where you can view and delete specific installed certificates. This allows the technician to manually remove the expired certificate so IE stops presenting it. 'Clear SSL state' only clears cached SSL session data, not installed certificates. 'Advanced' contains miscellaneous settings unrelated to certificate management. 'Publishers' manages trusted software publishers, not server certificates.
