Trusted Root Certification Authorities - These are the Root Certificates that Internet Explorer trusts. Any personal certificate that falls underneath any of these roots will be trusted (unless the certificate is revoked or expired).

Note that Microsoft stopped developing the Mac OS X version of IE after 5.2.3, which won't run on 10.7 or higher. Microsoft never created an IE version for iOS devices. 

You can also run the "Securly SSL Windows.exe" file attached at the end of this article to automate the process.
