Re: error when trying to connect with facebook
What antivirus are you using?
Does it inject itself into SSL streams?

Re: error when trying to connect with facebook
Try this & see if your SSL errors go away?
(Dated link, so location of option might have changed?)open AVG and click "Options" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Web Browsing Protection" -> "Online Shield" -> "Expert Settings"
uncheck "Scan encrypted (TLS and SSL) network traffic" option
