Awesome! Good to hear you've solved your lack-of-computer issue, hehe.

Jeez, those computer issues sound real irritating. Try installing Google Chrome if you can and see how that behaves, hopefully it wont have the same problems Firefox is having. I'd also suggest getting Microsoft Security Essentials and doing a full scan overnight or something, just to iron it out.

Anyways, I hope you can get on Skype soon! X)

Sounds like you have a virus. Use a different computer and google the exact wording of as many of the symptoms as you can record. Zephie had something like that once; we had to transfer the removal tool over on a Flash drive under safe mode because the virus disabled any download site or anti-virus that could clean it. Insidious.

Well it seems like it could be a virus, but at the same time it doesn't act like one.

I'll just copy and paste what it says, maybe this will help?



This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to login.yahoo.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.



What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

It didn't paste the two options I have, but they say "technical details" and "I understand the risks"

Ooh wait--if you're getting this and only this when you connect to most sites, it's not just a regular virus--you're getting something monitoring your connection. It's going to be trickier to nail it down, but try various anti-malware programs. What the message means is, probably the virus isn't affecting Firefox itself, but faking certificates to log your passwords. I'd say change your passwords using a clean computer, then run every anti-virus and anti-malware program you can lay hands on.

If, on the other hand, you bring in a clean computer and it gets this, it's your connection--someone might be monitoring directly on your connection. In that case, contact your ISP.

Also I'd check your processes list (Ctrl-Shift-Esc and click the Processes tab), sort alphabetically so it's easier to keep your position and run down the list. Anything you see running that you don't recognize, google it. 99 times out of 100 it'll be something innocuous or even necessary (eg. several copies of svchost.exe), but it's that 100th time we're looking for.

BTW: Firefox DOES have warnings for reported attack sites and certificate errors, but they won't show up on "almost any website" unless you nearly exclusively visit very dodgy sites. If it's showing up on sites you know for a fact are almost certainly good, it's a virus.

I don't visit any dodgy websites, but I just want it turned off, so I don't have to keep seeing it.

But my MAIN issue is, a lot of websites seem to be broken, and none of FA's pictures load besides banners, I can't even see icons.

Yah--I don't know what specific virus it is, so I don't know where the removal tool might be found, but you definitely have one.

Also I didn't mean to insult or offend you with that "dodgy websites" comment, it was just my way of saying "I don't think this possibility is the case".

Oh, my apologies then! I do indeed appreciate your help, but I got it figured out! Was a weird fix, but it wasn't a virus, thank god xD

Oh good! The only other thing I could think of was deliberately setting up a Fiddler proxy to decrypt HTTPS--I've momentarily spooked myself before when I forgot it was running, since I use it at work to monitor software tests I'm automating.

Glad to hear you back on . Will we get a chance to talk this weekend?

Thanks! And yes, as long as I can find a way to download Skype xD

Just so you know I missed you damn a lit.. still have your cell ? :<

Whoot.

Yay! I hope to Skype again. And this time, I hope my new device works.

AWW YISS.

Welcome back to THE DIGITAL WORLD.

BEEP BOOP.
