Scary Alert when I signed on to FR (vanity)
explorer | 4/18/2020 | unclear

Posted on 04/18/2020 11:27:52 AM PDT by sodpoodle

Did a full McAfee scan yesterday. Had not signed on to FR for a few days. (no jokes)..

Could not copy & paste this 'warning'.

What does it mean? Has anyone else had this?

Thanks

Something to do with SSL security certificate problems they’re working to fix.

We are in the process of renewing our SSL security certificate and there appears to be a technical glitch

Something went wrong during the update process and we’re trying to work it out now with their tech support dept. Hopefully, this will be very soon, meanwhile we may get security warnings on our site.
Hang in there.

Btw, You can get there temporarily without the ‘s’ in https:

That’s an expired SSL certificate warning. The secure socket layer cert expired yesterday. Looks like it’s been renewed because I’m no longer seeing it. It’s not a big deal.

I had a warning yesterday and this am. I had never seen it before. I could not get on the site late yesterday and early this morning. I don’t know much about it or how I got around it.

Yes, your computer has been infected with the chinese virus.

You need to shut it off for 14 days.

Looking forward to seeing you post here again on May 2.
