Security Certificate Alert Sometimes Pops Up Even When Website Is Safe

[Heathsideboy]

Every now and again I get a Security Certificate Alert window pop-up even when there is nothing wrong with the website I am on or other trust issues.

Can anybody tell me how I can stop these alerts from popping up unnecessarily? The security alert reads as below:
------------------
Security Alert

autodiscover.live.co.uk

information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate.

X The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. View the
certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority.

X The security certificate has expired or is not yet valued.

X The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site.

Do you want to proceed?

Yes; No; View Certificate;

What browser are you using. Since yesterday I'm having a similar problem with a redirect.
Series of events: Yesterday I happened to open Edge to see if there were (none) any improvements.
When Edge opened Malwarebytes immediately flagged an attempted outgoing redirect to "Venturead.com" as a malicious website. Exited from Edge and ran Malwarebytes, Ccleaner and MRT. 0 malware reported. Today when I open some, (not all) websites with my regular browser Fire
Fox, I get the same warning from Malwarebytes, suspicious outgoing (venturead.com) blocked. This site is one of the sites were I occasionally see the warning.

Hi Norton,

I still use Internet Explorer 11. This notice seems to pop up now and again whatever website I am on, even websites I’ve used for years and that I know are safe.

I too have used Malwarebytes, HitmanPro and a series of other anti-malware products and all of them are coming up showing there are no infections.

I wish I Knew how to stop these blasted windows coming up without good reason.

Is there a setting somewhere in Windows to sort this?

Any ideas, anybody?

You may want to check if IE 11 has a certificate manager in Settings>Privacy & Security.

You may want to check if IE 11 has a certificate manager in Settings>Privacy & Security.

Are you talking about the settings in Windows 10 itself? I've looked there and there is a 'Privacy' setting and an 'Update & Security' setting but not a 'Privacy & Security' setting. Am I looking in the right place?

Can you be a bit more specific to where I should be looking?

Thanks

No I'm talking about browser settings. I use FireFox and in settings>options >Privacy & Security.
Try opening IE, in the toolbar click on tools>Options and check if there's any privacy settings for tweaking.

[Edit] Found this I don't know if it will help in your situation.

Okay, on the Privacy tab in Internet Options, there are a whole host of options including 'Sites,' 'Advanced,' 'Clear Sites' & 'Settings.'

I'll be on my laptop tomorrow so I can post screenshots to show you inside if that helps. Yes, I've seen the link before.

On the Privacy tab in Internet Options, this is what show.


On the 'Sites' Button, this is what is shown:


On the 'Advanced' Button, this is what is shown:


On the 'Settings' Button, this is what is shown:


Is there anywhere on any of those settings that I need to tweak to stop the security alerts popping up?

Thanks
