When I try to use a search engine I get the following error message: Your connection is not secure

The owner of www.google.com.au has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

Report errors like this to help Mozilla identify and block malicious sites

Please advise. Thanks, Peter

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

This is sometimes caused by the protection programs. See my last post.
