Security Warning

[magicmick]

I have been on AB 2 years on Sunday, this last few days I have been
getting a message saying Security Warning. There are problems with
the Security Certificate for this site.
This certificate is not from a trusted authority.

I get this on my phone and also on my tablet, I have not had this message
befor can anyone shed any light please?

Check that the Date and Time are set correctly on your computer/laptop'

Unless anyone else is getting the same (I'm not getting anything) I would suggest either your AV is playing up or you may have a nastie on board.

[magicmick]

Hans time and date are ok
Treetops68 what is my AV, what type of nastie and if so how do I get rid?

[treetops68]

Your security suite (anti virus etc.). They sometimes throw up a warning like this but it is almost always a false positive. If, on the other hand, a piece of malware (a nastie) has got into your computer you will need to do a scan with Malwarebytes or similar to get rid of it. There are several posts in the computer section that explain exactly how to go abut it.

If there were a problem with AB's Security Certificate, I feel sure other members would have been posting on the matter.

It could be as suggested by treetops....."either your AV is playing up or you may have a nastie on board." Consequently, as an out-of-date Browser can also cause the problem which you have, I am requesting a lot more information.

What browser are you using (Internet Explorer, Firefox or whatever )and the version number. Also what make and model is your Computer/Laptop and the operating system (Windows Vista, W 7 etc) Please also say if you have an Anti Virus programme and what it is, along with whether you have Malewarebytes or anything similar.

I shall be away for the rest of this morning but will look in again when I return home at about 1.30pm.

hans.aside excuse me...can you look at my thread kindle e mail probs...?

[Tilly2]

magicmick, I also get that warning on my Samsung tablet on a regular basis and only on AB. I too have checked the date and time settings. I also have AVG and malwarebytes installed. It is really irritating.

[Tilly2]

Hans, how do I find the browser on a tablet, please?

[Tilly2]

Yes, see above^

[HansUrbancka]

@Tilly..... I perform best on Desktops. Sorry, I'll rephrase that. I know very little about tablets but if you tell me exactly what Tablet you have, I'll see if I can give a reasonable answer.

It might be worthwhile your starting another thread in this section and see if real Techies respond.:-)

[Tilly2]

Tilly.....I am hoping that the following will help you to locate the Browser on your Tablet. :-

[Tilly2]

Thanks Hans. I know where to find it, I just don't know how to find out if it's up to date.

[HansUrbancka]

Sorry Tilly that I have failed to be of any real assistance to you. Tablets are Not really my field and, as they appear to present so many problems, I doubt that I will move away from Desktop & Laptop Computers. Furthermore, I am Not anxious to even have a 'Smart Phone'.

Once again... sorry for my failure......Hans.

[Tilly2]

It's ok. Don't despair.

[magicmick]

Sorry for late reply been out all day, thank you hans for your input but I have a samsung
tab the same as tilly, I do have avast av not sure about firefox etc. As I say this also happens
on my samsung phone.

[HansUrbancka]

Good morning magicmick.......Now that I know the equipment which you have, I suggest you download Malwarebytes for Mobiles and run it to see if any nasties are present :-
