I have been the victim of computer fraud. I am real touchy when I see something out of the normal.Thanks!Not necessarily. The most obvious reason for such is that the target site din't update their security certificate. The next most likely is that your link to that site was redirected. Don't give the site any sensitive information, but wiping your hard drive is a rather extreme measure in this case.
Thanks again, but could malware be slipped in just by going to this website?I have been the victim of computer fraud. I am real touchy when I see something out of the normal.Thanks!
The other day I went to check the price of silver.I typed in the address and then received a "False Certificate" warning. I turned my computer off.Should I have the hard-drive erased and then reprogramed? I am using a later model Apple Lap Top.
ThanksYour computer will check the certificate of a secure (https) site, if its out of date you will receive an error.
Why the cert has not been updated could just be an oversight or something more malevolent
To put your mind at rest, disconnect from the internet and do a full virus and malware scan but i don't think there is any need to reformat your HDD unless the scans show a problem

Thanks for the tipI recommend Comodo internet security, the free version is good, but I pay about $100/year for the advanced service which can also fix computer problems and do cleaning operations for you if you let them take over your computer, I find them completely trustworthy
