cpkdude Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I am getting random security warnings from both Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials when I open this site in IE 8 on the Windows 7 platform. Is it possible this site has been infected with malware? When I open the Avic411 links pushed to me from thread subscriptions in my email client, these two urls are blocked by Malwarebytes: IP-BLOCK 82.146.49.67 IP-BLOCK 208.43.86.171 and IE 8 has this response: There is a problem with this website's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority. The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid. The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address. Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. Is it possible the Avic email links are infected, or my cable companies email client? are either one of those urls connected to Avic in any way? One is a service provider and the other seems to be in India thanks cpkdude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hodgen Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 There aren't any SSL pages on the site so I wouldn't worry about the certificate thing, it's just on one bothered paying $200 for a signed SSL certificate that wouldn't be used. I've got no clue about that other stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cpkdude Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Its because Windows is paranoid. it certainly is of certain pages on this site Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hodgen Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 If you only get that URL warning on certain pages that probably means someone posted a link to something questionable. I'd download Firefox if I were you and dump IE, Firefox is more secure and less vonulable to a lot of stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Are you by chance going to: https://avic411.com or http://avic411.com Notice the "s" in http You want to be at http, not https, otherwise you will get messages like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
