This Connection is Untrusted

Same trying to go to facebook
This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.facebook.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

Is this happening on both sea monkey and fire fox. Plus is this warning from avast?

 

[learninmypc]

I cannot even do a simply google search on my Vista Home Premium laptop. Yes, I have rebooted a couple times & have even restarted the browser, still no joy.
No changes to my knowledge

Yes, from both SeaMonkey & Firefox. Not from Avast, in the browser its self.

If it were me I would start buy running a spyware scan. If you are not have this problem on your win 7. I would also check your settings on your Wot. See if maybe this maybe the problem. But I more or less think it maybe spyware.

I've recently had this thread https://www.techspot.com/community/topics/fbi-scam-possibly.198775/
but will re run them & post back.

Ok

Looks good . Have you updated WOT on these browsers. Looks like maybe it may be a security feature. That maybe turned on.. Other then that I am not sure.

 

[learninmypc]

Unfortunately WOT has not been available for SeaMonkey for quite some time. but it is updated on Firefox.
I'm also going to clear the cache & browsing history. If push comes to shove, I'll use revo to uninstall both & reinstall both.

 

[Cobalt006]

That would be a good ideal. You also may need Broni to run some of his good tools. If that dose not work. Because I am not having a problem with either of my browsers. In Win 8 or win 7 , Going to either site.

 

[learninmypc]

I'm replying now on my W7 using SeaMonkey & I'm having zero problems going to facebook or even any https website. Its just on the Vista. Will give Broni a try tomorrow, thank you.

 

[learninmypc]

I just uninstalled/reinstalled SeaMonkey & still no joy so will see Broni in the morning.

 

[Cobalt006]

All right, Good luck.

 

[learninmypc]

As Broni suggested, I corrected the time & Date & all is fixed. Yippee.

 

[Cobalt006]

Cool , Glad to hear that.

 

[learninmypc]

Yes, me too

Always VIEW the certificate details and compare your system date/time to that of the cert.

• The system time can be just flat wrong
• The cert could have expired and not yet been renewed (happens frequently)

When your A/V or browser verifies the certificate, then you see these warnings which can be over ridden by the user, but I LIKE to at least see it and make that choice.

 

[Cobalt006]

I had forgotten about that. Last time I had seen anything like that was years ago in a old PC . That had a bad cmos battery. I just sync my time with my explorer.

 

[learninmypc]

Thank you all. I've bookmarked this thread for future reference.

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, I shut down the laptop for about 30 some hours & when I booted it back up, it was 2 hours fast & 4 years behind so I once again changed it. Now I'm wondering if there is a free way to keep this from happening? If not, I'll live with it

 

[Cobalt006]

Sounds like the cmos battery is bad.

 

[learninmypc]

In other words, if it dies, laptop dies?

 

[Cobalt006]

Yep , But the good news is It about a 1.79. This will save the lap top. But what you can do is leave it plug in. This will stop it from loosing its settings for a while.

 

[learninmypc]

Thank you, I love that answer. It will stay plugged in.
