ATTENTION, PLEASE!
Malware may reinstall itself multiple times if you don't delete its core files. This may require tracking down dozens of files in different locations.
We recommend downloading Advanced System Repair to eradicate Malware for you (it should cut down the time to about 15 minutes).
When you view or visit a secure website, the site will display an identity button in the Firefox browser, also known as padlock that appears in green. However, there are instances when it might display a gray padlock with a red strikethrough or some yellow warning triangle or a broken padlock.
The Site Identity button or the padlock, under normal circumstances, appears in Firefox’s address bar when you visit a secure website so that you can find out if the connection to the website you are visiting is secure and encrypted. Because of this, it will prevent you from visiting malicious and unsecured websites that may try to obtain personal information from you. This feature is available in the latest Nightly to build 59.0 Firefox web browser although it isn’t enabled by default. You must enable it to help you identify if a website has an unsecured connection in the address bar of your Firefox browser – and this post will show you how to do so. Follow the steps below to enable this feature in your Firefox browser.
Step 1: Open Mozilla Firefox and then in its address bar, type in about:config and then tap Enter to open Firefox’s settings.
Step 2: After you tap Enter, a warning message will pop up – just click on the “I accept the risk” button to proceed. The “about:config” contains ever settings in Firefox which includes the settings for all its installed extensions. Note that the settings that are non-bold are the default settings while the ones that are in bold are the ones that have been changed.
Step 3: From there, in the Search filter box, type in insecure_connection_icon and then tap Enter. After that, it will show you the following preference in the window:
“security.insecure_connection_icon.enabled”
Note: as you can see, this preference is set to “False” by default – so obviously, it is disabled.
Step 4: You have to turn that feature on so you have to double click on security.insecure_connection_icon.enabled preference and set its value to True.
As an alternative, you can also right-click on the preference and select the Toggle option. And so that’s how you enable the security insecure connection icon in the Firefox browser in Windows 10.
If you are experiencing some system issues that may be caused by some corrupted files or corrupted registries, there is a one-click solution you can try to fix the problem. This program is known as PC Cleaner Pro which helps not just in fixing corrupted registries and files but also improves your system’s overall performance. Aside from that, it also cleans out your computer for any junk or corrupted files that help you eliminate any unwanted files from your system.
Perform a full system scan using PC Cleaner Pro. To do so, follow the instructions below.
- Turn on your computer. If it’s already on, you have to reboot
- After that, the BIOS screen will be displayed, but if Windows pops up instead, reboot your computer and try again. Once you’re on the BIOS screen, repeat pressing F8, by doing so the Advanced Option shows up.
- To navigate the Advanced Option use the arrow keys and select SafeMode with Networking then hit
- Windows will now load the SafeMode with Networking.
- Press and hold both R key and Windows key.
- If done correctly, the Windows Run Box will show up.
- Type in explorer http://www.fixmypcfree.com/install/pccleanerpro
A single space must be in between explorer and http. Click OK.
- A dialog box will be displayed by Internet Explorer. Click Run to begin downloading PC Cleaner Pro. The installation will start automatically once a download is done.
- Click OK to launch the program.
- Run the program and click the Click to Start Scan button to perform a full system scan.
- After all the infections are identified, click FIX ALL.

IE has started exhibiting a strange behavior. We have several intranet nodes (routers) that are configured to use HTTPS for access, but which have untrusted / self signed certificates on them. At some unidentifiable point in the recent past, there was no problem connecting to these devices. That is no longer true. When you attempt to connect, and choose option 3 ('to connect to the site anyways') IE comes back immediately with a 'Connection Unavailable' screen. This occurs in IE8 and now (ugh) ie9.
Firefox has no problem connecting to these locations, which indicates that its not a TCP stack problem. Google Chrome fails to connect; but then Google Chrome fails at a lot of stuff.
We have tried adding them as trusted sites. No difference.
Clearly there is some obscure setting or MS has come out with a patch that breaks things. Any ideas?

This problem is caused by a very recent ms update: kb2585542
There is a fixit associated with ms12-006 which allows you to turn off part of the update. Issues are described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2643584
Specifically Microsoft Fix it 50824 needs to be applied. You then need to update ie to only use ssl3 and tls1.2 and for our systems this fixed the problem

Check the certificate section in your browsers. If there are certificates from these devices, delete them, clear your browser's cache and restart the browser.
My HP ILOs would do this sometimes with the self-signed certs. Once you accept the cert, it installs it but the next time you connect it gets all confused for some reason. At least FF and IE used to get confused.

If you have more than just a few of these servers, it's probably worth having a little internal Certification Authority:
- Create a small CA, in particular your own CA certificate + its private key.
- Issue certificates using this CA for each of your internal servers (and set it up within that server).
- Imported the CA certificate as a trusted certificate on your intranet machines.
This way, you won't have to handle exceptions every time you add a new server on your intranet. If you're new to this, it can be a bit of a hassle, but it's the clean way to do it.
There are tools to help you set up a CA. Depending on the size, something like Tiny CA might be sufficient. You may find other suggestions in the answers to this question: https://security.stackexchange.com/q/7030/2435
Make sure the host names in the certificates you issue are in a Subject Alternative Name DNS entry and (just in case) in the CN RDN of the Subject Distinguished Name.

When we explore the web with our Google chrome browsers, sometimes we fall into a irritating SSL problem. In small parts or in some frames of web pages, we cannot view or use that. That frame shows “This frame was blocked because it contains some insecure content” with red background. These frames are usually login forms or others that need secure connection(HTTPS). Not only Google chrome but also there web browsers shows same problem.
Why it Happens? Why Google Chrome and Other Browsers Shows it ?
It’s an SSL(secure socket layer) error. It happens when both encrypted and non-encrypted content is found your web page where encrypted content could establish a secure connection due to invalid certificate. Why invalid certificate? Because your systems’ time must be synchronized to the actual time. Although your machines ‘on-board’ certificate library may be current, the machine’s time is not correct, rendering a mismatch for the sites certificate parameters.
Other thing If a browser says that a certificate is untrusted it means that it isn’t signed by a trusted root certificate or that it can’t link the certificate to a trusted root certificate. If your certificate is signed by a major certificate authority then it just means one of the chain certificates in between yours and the root is not installed on the web server. To be clear, read more about SSL Certificate Errors.
How to Solve this SSL Problem for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer ?
You need to adjust your computer time with actual time. Also make sure your system is set to ‘Automatic Synchronize’ of time.
or
#For Google Chrome :
Way one :
Right click on the frame and click View Frame Source. After loading the frame source, close the frame source page.
Right click on the blocked frame and click View frame source
When loading the frame source if it shows an warning, click “proceed anyway”.
Back to your error frame’s page ant reload it.
Frame is now working
It should now work. This process is solving the problem without changing any setting.
Way Two :
Go to the tools tab in the Google Chrome browser (the top right wrench icon). Click on “Options“. Select the tab “Under the Hood“. On the bottom of the options, check the option Use SSL 2.0/3.0 and make sure “Check for server certification revocation” is unchecked.
To furthermore stop the hindrance of having to select the Proceed anyway option on secured sites, click on the “Manage certificates” button in the same tab under Security and under the default Personal tab click on the Advanced button on the right side. Un-check Server Authentication and press OK. All your problems should be solved.
#For Firefox Browser :
For firefox, go to Tools> Options> Privacy: Check ‘Accept Cookies from sites‘.
& Un-Check ‘Accept 3rd Party cookies‘.
& Un-Check ‘Accept 3rd Party cookies‘.
Change Firefox cookie settings
And: Tools> Options> Security> Warning messages heading-Settings: on the next window, make selections based on your ‘comfort level‘ and understanding of site security, and so on> OK.
Then OK.
#For Internet Explorer :
For internet explorer, go to Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced:
here check ‘Override automatic….’; ‘Allow session cookies’; ‘Allow 1st party cookies’ & ‘Block 3rd Party Cookies’.
here check ‘Override automatic….’; ‘Allow session cookies’; ‘Allow 1st party cookies’ & ‘Block 3rd Party Cookies’.
Cookie setting in IE
Again Tools> Int. options> Advanced> Security heading: uncheck “Warn if changing between secure and not secure…” > OK out.
Spl. note: Also in this section, make sure to have ‘Warn about certificate address mismatch‘ which helps curb ‘spoofed’ certificate sites.
Read more about fixing SSL problems with web page frames with browser.
So I think now you should not have any problem regarding the issues “This frame was blocked because it contains some insecure content” or “page contains secure and nonsecure items“.
How well Internet Explorer—or any Web browser, for that matter—protects against attacks and malware greatly depends on whether you keep it up to date and have the right security settings. Here's how to take the proper security measures with Internet Explorer 9 and 10.
Upgrade to the latest version of IE
Although switching to a new version of your browser can take some getting used to—what with its various interface and feature changes—new security features are often worth the annoyance. So it’s a good idea to upgrade to newer versions when available.
IE 10 is the latest version, and it comes bundled with Windows 8. Microsoft also offers IE 10 for those running Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 installed. But if you’re running Windows Vista, you’re stuck with using IE 9.
To determine whether the latest possible version of IE is installed, open IE, press the Alt key, open the Help menu, and then select About Internet Explorer.
If needed, you can download IE 10 for Windows 7 or IE 9 for Windows Vista.
Download IE updates
No matter which version of Windows or IE you’re running, you should have all the latest IE updates installed. These updates typically patch known security holes and vulnerabilities. Open IE, press the Alt key, select the Tools menu, and then select Windows Update. If you're using Windows 8, open IE in the desktop interface.
In the Windows Update window that follows, click Check for Updates, and install IE or other updates. To ensure you stay up-to-date in the future, consider having updates installed automatically.
Check for add-on updates
Many browser attacks exploit security vulnerabilities that affect popular add-ons like Adobe Flash Player or Java, so you should install updates for those as soon as you get the update nag message. Also consider periodically running a scan with free tools like Qualys BrowserCheck or Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) to make doubly sure that you haven’t missed any updates.
Verify or adjust security levels
IE lets you set custom security settings for different zones: Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites, and Restricted Sites. When you visit a website, IE automatically classifies it as in the Internet zone. The exceptions are websites hosted by your local network (say, a site set up for use on your company's network)—then it’s Local Intranet—or sites that you’ve added to the Trusted or Restricted lists beforehand. You can set each zone to a predefined security level and customize the settings as well.
Though IE sets each zone to an acceptable level by default, you may want to double-check your settings for each zone and even turn them up for greater protection. Open IE, press the key, select the Tools menu, and click Internet Options. If you're using Windows 8, open IE from the traditional desktop interface to get at these options.
From the Internet Options window, select the Security tab: you’ll then see icons for each security zone, which you can click to change their security level. The Internet zone is set to Medium-high by default, Local Intranet is Medium-low, Trusted Sites is Medium, and Restricted Sites is High. In addition, the Internet and Restricted Sites zones both have Protected Mode enabled (which alerts you when webpages try to install or run programs).
I recommend that you use these default levels. If you change security levels for the various zones, you can always return them to their default settings by clicking Reset all zones to default level.
Use SmartScreen Filtering
In IE 8, Microsoft added the SmartScreen filter, which helps block dangerous websites and downloads. It’s enabled by default (if you selected the recommended security settings when you first ran IE), but you should double-check to see if you still have SmartScreen Filtering turned on. Open IE, press the Alt key, open the Tools menu, and select SmartScreen Filter. If you see Turn On SmartScreen Filter, click it.
Now, if you visit a possible phishing or malware-infested site, or if you download a suspicious file, you’ll get a warning message.
Enable ActiveX Filtering
The ActiveX filter in IE 9 and 10 blocks all ActiveX content on websites, but it allows you to run it selectively on sites you trust. Though some sites use ActiveX controls to display or run legitimate content (like animations, ads, Web-based programs, and download managers), some sites may try to run malicious ActiveX controls or content to infect your computer.
Insecure Connection In Internet Explorer Help
This is where ActiveX Filtering can help; however, this security feature is disabled by default. If you’d like the extra protection of this filtering feature, you can easily turn it on: Open IE, press the Alt key, open the Tools menu, and click ActiveX Filtering if it isn’t already checked.
Now when you visit a website with active content, you’ll be alerted that some content has been filtered or blocked. If you trust the site, you can click Turn off ActiveX Filtering to allow the content on that particular website.
Set up tracking protection
Tracking Protection, a feature present in IE 9 and 10, helps protect your online privacy and reduces annoyances from third-party content like advertisements. Combined with Tracking Protection Lists, it can block third-party content from appearing and prevent third-party tracking from content providers on the list.
By default, Tracking Protection Lists are turned off. To enable and configure them, open IE, press the Alt key, select the Tools menu, and click Tracking Protection. You should see the default list that's generated automatically based on sites you visit, and you may choose to download additional lists. To use a list, select it, and click the Enable button.
Then, to choose how you want to block them, click the Settings button.
In IE 10, Microsoft added a Do Not Track setting—enabled by default—to Tracking Protection, which tells websites you visit that you prefer not to be tracked. Though websites are under no obligation to honor your request, stating your preference may reduce some tracking.
To adjust your Do Not Track settings, open IE from the desktop, press the Alt key, pop open the Tools menu, and click Internet Options. From there, select the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section, and confirm that the Always send Do Not Track header setting is checked.
Did we mention that you should update?
The fundamental step to keeping any browser secure is to update it regularly. Once you've made that a habit, you'll also find that Internet Explorer has a solid set of built-in security features, as well as some privacy protections. The settings recommended here will do the trick for most situations, but they aren't set in stone. The better you learn the security functions, the better you can adjust them to your own browsing habits.
