How to Disable SSL V3.0 For Client (Win7)

Don't forget to disable also for all your Windows clients. Through out the network.

Home users please do follow these steps to disable SSL v 3.0 and if you use IE disable it there as well.

You can disable support for the SSL 3.0 protocol on Windows by following these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedt32 or type regedit, and then click OK.
2. In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
   HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\SSL 3.0\Client
   Note If the complete registry key path does not exist, you can create it by expanding the available keys and using the New -> Key option from the Edit menu.
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value.
4. In the Data Type list, click DWORD.
5. In the Value Name box, type Enabled, and then click OK. 
   Note If this value is present, double-click the value to edit its current value.
6. In the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value dialog box, type 0 .
7. Click OK. Restart the computer.

Note This workaround will disable SSL 3.0 for all client software installed on a system.

Note After applying this workaround, client applications on this machine will not be able to communicate with other servers that only support SSL 3.0.
