Hi All,

When I attempt to log into my Google and Yahoo email accounts I am presented with the following warning message, what should I do?

This Connection is Untrusted


You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to https://www.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.


Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.

    Normally you get this if the website is trying to establish a secure connection using SSL (the site address starts with https: ) and Firefox does not like something about the security certificate that the website is presenting.

    The two most common causes are:

    1. Your PC's date is set wrong or
    2. Your copy of Windows is a long way out of date in terms of Windows Updates and your trusted Root Certificates are out of date.
