WHen I go onto some websites. a symbol shows up on bottom of screen, where the authentication lock is, but with another symbol on top of it, and it indicates site is not supported/ authenticated. It happened when I went onto Jetblue to purchase a ticket online, and it happened when I just went onto Staples.com to do a rebate offer. This is of concern to me as far as any potential risk of someone accessing my information

Do you get a broken padlock on the Status Bar if you connect via the https protocol?
