Am getting daily messages from Safari warning me that I am on a website with an unknow certifying authority and my personal information may be at risk.
Happens when in Cox webmail and when I am visitying a legitimate site, and I have typed in address correctly such as Citibank rewards site.
Have 3 choices, "Show Certficate" "Cancel" or "Continue". Screen is frozen and cannot exit Safari without acknowledging the message or clicking escape. I had been clicking continue, but after a month or more of many such messages decided to ask Cox. They say it is a virus. Was I careless in clicking continue? What do many messages like this mean? they can't all be unknown certifying authorities can they?
