I've just registered with a large garden supplies website and when I went to log on this message came up..
"Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party".
(There's the option to cancel or continue)
Is it anything to worry about? I don't shop on the internet very often, I'm a bit paranoid. :)

Is it a site or company you trust? If so, I wouldn't worry. If it is something dodgy from China, I would leave well alone.

Thanks squarebear...no, not a dodgy site from China, I'd never register with any of those. (It's Greenfingers.com in Scotland. I've just looked and they say they have over half a million registered members)
I've found another ABer who has shopped many times with them with no problem ...
As you know someone else who has used it, I would definitely go ahead.

PS Don't believe the "over half a million registered members". Anyone can make a website saying that.
