Hi

I wondered whether anyone could help - since this morning I've not been able to log on to the Quidco cashback site - it comes up with a message that the site is not secure and does not recommend continuing. I have never had this problem before, and having asked on the Shop but don't Drop part of the forum, a few other people have had this problem also, but other people haven't. Not sure what kind of problem this is - can't be the website itself if only a few people are experiencing it, can it? Thanks for any advice.

    Unintentionally pasted security message twice above! Sorry! My query is below it though.

    Is your computer clock set to the correct time?
    Move along, nothing to see.

    I think so - but it is a 12 hour clock face on the front so it might have the morning time? Would this be the reason?! Very frustrating all of a sudden that I can't access the site; other people are having this problem.

    OP and bloodnok, your CMOS battery has gone flat, so every time your computer shuts down it forgets the correct time and reverts to a default time. Replace the battery and all will be well.
    For the same reason it thinks the security certificate is out of date.

    Sorted! thanks - the time was right but the date setting on my computer was a few days behind - I've corrected this and now the site works perfectly! Thanks everyone for responding!:j

    But if it's due to the battery failing, you will lose the date again at shutdown.
