Thanks guys. I get a little paranoid about such matters (hence use of the phone while the laptop runs a virus scan!)

sometimes I have the oatcake skip to a fake Microsoft warning If you're getting that then that's more than likely down to some malware you've picked up on your internet travels. If I were you I'd give your system a good deep clean. |

It could be worse. I got an email recently telling me that someone had filmed me playing with myself while watching porno and I had send money or they would send a link to everyone in my contact list. I showed the missus and she didn’t believe me! A week later she got the same email! It turns out her university email account had been hacked.

The "Not secure" was scare-mongering tactics started by Google to try and get all websites to get secure certificates on their websites. As long as you don't enter sensitive data when the Not secure warning is there, you'll generally be fine.
There are benefits to a fully secure website though - it probably would've stopped that fake Microsoft warning mentioned. I'm surprised Proboards haven't upgraded.

The login page will have the secure sign because its proboards login that has the safety certificate. The forums themselves won't have the safety certificate.
The strange thing with safety certificates online and the safe process isn't that you're covered individually. It's that the site provider is covered against fraud. There's a much lesser degree of fraud possible on forums like this, since you aren't keeping card details on hand etc.
Furthermore, the amusing thing is the last time a company that issued the safety certificate had a failure, they went out of business and it invalidated the cover of everyone who had paid for it anyway. It's largely a type of insurance for websites, that the process of taking details for things such as payment won't be compromised. It has very little to do with the actual safety of a site.

They just need to upgrade the Message board to a HTTPS domain.
Google security stuff.

Is anyone else getting bombarded by a ( lancombfreegift ) advert whilst signed onto this board ? You can only briefly read a thread before the advert cuts in, and the only way out is too log off and then on again. Seems like the security issue is worse than earlier in the past week and the board has been spiked.

J8-) Yes, I’m using iPad with latest upgrade and it’s very rare that you get this corruption? So I’ve just filled the application for the Free Gift, using L.M Hughes as name and St Mary’s Stadium as address and now receiving a amazon gift card ? |
