Other Tips:

1.      Computer Date and Time

One reason a security certificate error might pop-up is because the computer date or time might be incorrect. An adjustment to the system time of the computer will remedy that type of certificate error.

2 Expired Certificate

Sometimes the security certificate is actually expired for the website. If this is a website that you frequently visit and the error is new for this site, you might have to wait until the website renews its certificate. Websites have to renew their security certificate every so often.

3   Malicious Site

If this is a new site that you have never visited before, the site might be malicious. It is recommended that you not continue to browse a site without a valid security certificate, and defiantly don’t input any login credentials.
