I have been trying to access my craigs list fct* account to make a post. I get through everything and then when I try to sign in, it tells me this connection is not secure. Why would craigs list not be secure? I looked at all the possibilities but none applied. How can I change this. I had them last week and I have Windows XP (Unfortunately)*fct indicates fairfield county ct

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

If you can't inspect the certificate via Advanced (I Understand the Risks) then try this:

Open the "Add Security Exception" window by pasting this chrome URL in the Firefox location/address bar and check the certificate:

  • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul

In the location field of this window type or paste the URL of the website with the https:// protocol prefix (https://xxx.xxx).

  • retrieve the certificate via the "Get certificate" button
  • click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate in the Certificate Viewer

You can inspect details like the issuer and the certificate chain in the Details tab of the Certificate Viewer. Check who is the issuer of the certificate. If necessary then please attach a screenshot that shows the Certificate Viewer with the issuer.

There is security software like Avast and Kaspersky and BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.
