Tracker SSL extension report:

100% of the trackers on this site could be helping protect you from NSA snooping.

But, even though avast.com uses HTTPS, there's at least one third party that's been communicating insecurely.

Tell avast.com to fix it.

Isn't fotkica.com an image storage/retrieval source, often being used by users for their profile image/avatar or images in their posts ?
