What's the deal with the security certificate?

What is a security certificate?

  • When I access the BT Yahoo I get a message saying security certificate required

  • Answer:

    If you are getting warnings about security certificates then your computers time and date is probably wrong. Check that first. If it is wrong it is usually due to the CMOS battery being old and a bit flat, see the link below for information on how to change it; http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000239.htm Regards, Bob.

A security certificate verifies your identity. it is normally used for secure websites like log-in pages for your computer to be able to trust the website. This can also appear if you are not authorized to visit the website, or if your computer is really old

When a webpage is posted on the internet, it's assigned a security certificate. That says that this website is safe to visit, or may have something harmful on it depending on what kind of website it is. So, when you go to click on a webpage and that pops up, that's just your internet browser asking you if you want to continue even though there's no security certificate. It's also a warning that there could be something malicious on that website. Be careful! Hope this helps!
