I've just turned my computer on and these are the words on the screen. T also says.....
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.google.co.uk, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove you are going to the right place.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
If you usually connect to this site without any problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
Them it has choices of .... Get me out of here. .... technical Details...... I understand risks.
What on earth is it. I tries going on to Amazon and typed n the www address, got on to site ok but when I tried to go to Printable Gift Cards, I got the same message again! What shall I do?
Please bear in mind I'm totally ignorant to IT apart from my normal sites, AB, FB, Amazon and eBay!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.This happens on my machine quite often. On the toolbar, if you right-click on the icon that looks a bit like a radio mast, then on 'View available wireless networks', it will show that it's an untrusted network which is 'Connected'. Click on the one that it should be instead, then the 'Connect' button.
I think my problem is that if there's a glitch on the usual connection, it goes hunting for something else - maybe a neighbour's Wi-Fi, I don't know.
