RE: Certificate error.. Pharming attack?

Charis,

Does the Internet Security software on your computer mediate the HTTPS
traffic? I have seen similar error using Kasperskey Internet Security Suite.

Thanks,
Ajay

maybe
1) the cert has expired;
2) the date/time is incorrect on your computer
3) maybe  the server is using a cert sign by Intermediary CA. Firefox
doesn't trust  Intermediary CA signed stuff. At least the older
versions of Firefox.

there could be several other reasons.
