I wished to change an insurance scheme for dental treatment on line as per the instructions of my dentist. The web site in question is under the control of the insurance provider who’s credentials are ultra safe. It is a portal address and when opened requires me to input security details. I wanted to make the change online for convenience but thought to be cautious and carry the procedure out under SZ using pay mode since I have to give my bank account and sort code.
When I entered the portal address it was correctly found but a warning was displayed that said this web site has harmed my computer and gave me the option of clicking on a large icon that said “get me out of here”. Even though I know this site to be ultra safe, I was a bit unerved by this message, so I did what it asked and got myself out of it.
I have subsequently carried out the change via a postal option, I shouldn’t have needed to because the site is safe. But still, when a browser like SZ comes up with such a strong message that says my machine has been harmed, it gives me the jitters.
