Why does the green padlock and https disappear on aol mail and FB games (Zynga "Words with Friends")?
When I check my mail on aol the https in the aol address disappears and so does the green padlock, indicating that it is not secure. The green padlock also disappears when I am in Facebook and try to play Words with Friends. I also keep getting pop ups after each game that are gray, ominous looking screens that in small letters says adobe flashplayer. I will not click on it as that destroyed my previous computer.
