Likewise! I have had no further problems today. When I first received the "alert", I soft booted and then ran a virus scan. No viruses found. Glad the problem has been solved - hopefully!

I just had it happen again. This time, one click removed it so, here's hoping it's fixed.

I think the certificate alerts are related to the ads that show up on the quilt board. I get these alerts on my tablet and just click on 'continue' to make them go away. So far (a couple years now) there have been no resulting problems. The alerts don't occur on my laptop because I have an ad blocker.

So happy to know I wasn't the only one and it has happened often in the past year. Only on this site!!

This the message which seems to apply: "the name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the same of the site". This is one of four options and this one has an alert icon at the front. The other three have green check marks. ????

Is anyone else getting this message? I only have these messages when on the QB. Please help. Thank you.

I kept thinking I had downloaded a virus in some way, but this "security alert" only appeared on the quilting board - nothing else I receive.

I finally read something about what to do which said:
open internet explorer
click on tools
select internet options
click security tab
click custom level
in miscellaneous section, change display
click mixed content and
enable

After I did this several days ago, I have had no further problems, at least yet! Hope this may help others.

Yes, back it, but not as frequently as it was, but still...

Thank you, M.Elizabeth, for the tip. Will give it a try.
