Been gone for a few days and just got back. Went to check on my bank about and got that message. Needless to say I didn't go any farther. What do you guys suggest? There used to be something I would use every so often but haven't done that in a while. Apparently there is some spy ware going on, I don't know. Open to ideas. May have to take it over to the geek squad.
Your Connection is Not Private

I have noticed that Firefox now has a system in place that tells if you have a 'secure' or 'unsecure' connection when 'logging in' anywhere. Shows a icon of a lock with a line through it if that particular site is 'not secure'.

If it is the Firefox warning here is a link to remove the warning.

The State of VA now has a system called RAPIDPASS that allows for remote sensors to test your car's emissions in a drive by manner w/o you stopping. The thing about it is that it IDs your car w/o a LEO asking for documentation or actually spotting you traveling through an area. There was no visible camera, just a 2x3 box on the side of the road. They of course still charge $28.00 for the emissions test.
Do cars emit ID info?

I got this note from GoDaddy about a month ago. I'm sure it wasn't/isn't just Google. So it may not truly mean what it implies.

The message has nothing to do with this sight. I was going to pull up my checking account and got that message. Needless to say I changed my plan. Does anyone have a link to the Chrome security Checks? I use Chrome almost exclusively and haven't had issues until now. I've also used Adwear blocker, and have had no issues. But this all of a sudden has me concerned.

Thanks for posting that.
I've been using Firefox for years and have found it easy to use and fairly safe.
Whoever put that idiotic warning up there should be shot.
If I can't tell for myself if a site is safe or not I should be shot.
If I don't take rational precautions when on the internet I should be shot again.
Hmmm.......a lot of shooting going on here....... :roll:

I'm not in the least computer savy, but when I go to a website, I always try to prefix the web address with 'https'; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It DOES work on this Ruger website. Not knowing what I'm doing, I also invested an additional $30 (since I have Norton Antivirus protection already) and got Norton's "WiFi Privacy" thingie. They may have stolen another $30 from me, but then, many others have as well

Another guy suggested: when you go to HTTPS sites, your pc hand shakes with the SSL/TLS security certificate on that HTTPS website. your time and date must be correct.
Is your time and date correct on the computer/laptop, make sure it's set to the correct time zone.
if that does not work, go into IE and click on Tools at the top, then "internet options" , click on the "advanced tab" at the top. in the bottom of the advance screen there is a button that says "RESET" click on reset, in that screen check the "delete personal settings" box and then choose reset. this will prompt you to reboot. - See if that helps

I think that's right because it does start with https and then the screen changes and it looks like the https has been scratched through and is no longer involved. I think it's the security issue, but not sure how that started.

There are several causes can create this SSL connection error, such as your date & time, antivirus software, or even invalid cookies.
The first step I would recommend doing is to determine the scope of it. You can do so by using another browser on your computer and visit the same website you are getting "Your connection is not private" error.
- If Firefox browser shows a similar error message, which is "Your connection is not secure", then the cause isn't from your Chrome browser. In this case, you can try to clean up DNS cache on your computer by using the ipconfig /flushdns command in Command Prompt. Then reboot your computer. There is also a case that your antivirus software or internet security program (or even Firewall) blocks all the SSL connections on your computer. To verify this, you need to disable all those apps temporarily to test.
- If your Firefox browser can load those HTTPS fine without any issues, then I suggest you to clean up cookies and cached files on your browser and test it again. Resetting the Chrome browser is also a good option.
