This feature is usually good to protect against threat but sometimes it can conflict with your network settings and mistakenly block some SSL certificates and connections. You can temporarily disable the antivirus software’s SSL scanning feature to see if this is the problem. You can go to your antivirus software’s Settings and look for features that related to SSL or the web. You can then go to the website.
• If you feel confident that the error is on the part of the website, and that website is trusted and known and trusted, you can possibly access the site with an insecure connection. To do this, you can select the ‘Advanced link’ at the bottom of the error box and then select ‘Proceed to website’. But This can not solve the error message problem and you should only access the website if you’re sure the website is safe.
