Message I get is "Secure connection failed". I go to help-->troubleshoot-->refresh. It usually works once then next time it is the same. I've tried troubleshoot-->troubleshoot but that doesn't help either, I end up refreshing and then back to square one. Appreciate your help to a non-techie.

Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?


There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
