Solved: Re: INTERNET SECURITY WARNING

alphanumeric · ‎05-09-2016

I use a BT Internet Server.

Today while using Windows Live Mail i received the following screen pop up message:

INTERNET SECURITY WARNING

The server you are connected to is using a security

certificate that could not be verified.

A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a

root certificate which is not trusted by the trust

provider.

Do you want to contiue using the server?

YES NO

What on earth is this: has anybody out there also received it?

For now, i clicked YES, and pending an explanation am hoping for the best.

Thank you, alphanumeric.

As Webby say, it's a WIndows warning - nothing to do with BT or BT Internet.

Hi. Webby. Thanks for your response. Not too sure why Windows gave such a warning.

Cheers, alphanumeric.

It's just when it thinks a site doesn't have a valid security certificate. It's nothing to worry about.
