All the google ads I click on results in the following error message on my computer: "Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.googleadservices.com."

On my tablet I get the error: "The connection was reset"

I cannot visit any website that are ads in the search result. Please let me know how I can fix this issue.

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

Actually it happens on all browsers, Edge and Chrome has the same problem. I have tried disabling Avast but it doesn't help, so something else is causing this problem.
