Scary Alert when I signed on to FR (vanity)

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

I know you got answer already but for others who have read the updates- the site is the same as it’s always been- just expired Cirt is all- doesn’t mean the site got infected with anything just because the cirt ran out temporarily I don’t think- The warning did make it sound like it was ‘dangerous to proceed to site’, and that passwords and info could be stolen if you did- but again- it’s just the cirt that was expired- no big deal- glitch in update-

kinda like when inspection sticker runs out on car- car still is fine- but just need to renew the sticker-

Sounds like an invalid password.

LOL...But what if I wear a mask while posting?

We ca check on it, but we need you name, SSN, routing number and account number.

Then we will get back to you in a week or so.

(Just kidding.).

Stop using McAfee. Then, you won’t get the warning.

Yes, I had it this morning. Something about the FR site license expired yesterday so the FR site you are trying to load may not be legal or hacked etc. I just went around it to get back on.

You are entering into the safe space that liberals wish they had . . .

What does it say? “It’s the end of the world” or something?

[eartick]

Must have been if you could not type it in your vanity.

The hoaxdemic has everyone on edge

[DLfromthedesert]

Just your info, password, etc are compromised. Site insecure. But it’s solved so no worries.

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

Better to use the secure encrypted connection 'https', not 'http', and accept the certificate within your browser to continue to use the expired certificate.

FWIW, The warning is nothing new.

I think it comes mostly from my browser, Chrome, and the path I take to get to FR.

I’ve been blocked more times than I can count, all seemingly random.

If you find an alternate path or third party links to FR, you may have a better result.

Your computer has been infected with the Corona virus.

First laugh of the day for me.

Go to the addres bar and delete the s from “https” and it will work fine.
