Hi,

Can you provide a screenshot of the error message?

Can you Untick the box next to Enable HTTPS scanning and see if the issue persists?

Could you be a little more specific? If you mean you are getting
alerts or blocks on web pages that use HTTPS then that is not
surprising or unusual. A "secure" web page - HTTPS - does not mean
that the page/site is free of malware. It just means that traffic
to/from the user and the site is encrypted, which protects against
interception of the data being transferred. Snoops can't read the
data if they hack the connection because encryption garbles it.

But that does NOT mean that what you are receiving is non-malevolent.
Malware can be transferred over a "secure" HTTPS connection.

Hi,

I can't reproduce it. Does it happen with all sites you visit, and which browser are you using? Can you try it in a different browser if you have not done so yet?
