What is happening with the forum?

Hello :slight_smile:

This is what I get when I go to forum.avast.com with Google Chrome

However, my Netscape Navigator works OK with Avast forum…

Should I (or You) be in a worry? :slight_smile:

strange … as i use chrome now and dont see that

Full Google Chrome details:

forum.avast.com normally uses encryption (SSL) to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to forum.avast.com this time, forum.avast.com returned unusual and incorrect credentials. Either an attacker is trying to pretend to be forum.avast.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later. You can also try switching to another network.

Technical details

The certificate that Chrome received during this connection attempt is not formatted correctly, so Chrome cannot use it to protect your information.
Error type: Malformed certificate
Subject: *.avast.com
Issuer: DigiCert SHA2 High Assurance Server CA
Public key hashes: sha1/g/baV3aPyOeD/oMH6x/DjH/c37g= sha256/5YutmKl+3X+bE/xFzn+x2nMdt43SxQGJNCKJCP4ca0Y= sha1/3lKvjNsfmrn+WmfDhvr2iVh/yRs= sha256/k2v657xBsOVe1PQRwOsHsw3bsGT2VzIqz5K+59sNQws= sha1/gzF+YoVCU9bXeDGQ7JGQVumRueM= sha256/WoiWRyIOVNa9ihaBciRSC7XHjliYS9VwUGOIud4PB18=

Well it is an error with the bios time of your device that is producing this, set the bios time right and you will be good to go.

My BIOS time is correct and synchronized with an atomic clock over the Internet.
I use “Atomic Tyme Sync” from http://www.analogx.com/
And my clock was synchronized last time: today!
So it can’t be the clock regarding this issue :slight_smile:

Then let these guys have a look and run ICSI netalyzer to debug your internet connection, you might find out what caused the flaw. Go here to run the app: http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/

If my Internet connection might be the cause, then how Netscape (browser) works OK?

If you are the only person having this problem and not everyone else,
then the problem is obviously local not an issue related to avast! or Chrome.

Netscape Navigator? :o
Wasn’t that a browser from the past for which AOL ended support back in 2008.
This browser’s development is officially dead like flock and other browsers from the past.
Obsolete.

polonus

Exactly that Netscape Navigator, version 9.0.0.5.

It will open any site, Youtube, Facebook and other social networking included.
It’s 100% immune to un-wanted add-(ons such as Ask Toolbar) or similar :stuck_out_tongue:
It can split screen vertically so that I can, for example watch something on YouTube on my left side of the screen, while I’m on forum or somewhere else on the Internet in the right part of the screen.
It uses ONLY around 20-30% of the CPU resources (Chrome uses 100%)
It uses ONLY a few megabytes of RAM memory…
Incredible browser!
And even in this situation - Netscape is the one that got me on this forum, not the Crhome! :confused:
Think about it…

Java is not allowed on this system (except the built-in-java in every browser)
Google Chrome has its own Java, but this site attempted to install Java from Oracle.
Java from Oracle … well… is not allowed on this system…

Hi BulmaSoft,

Read some conflicting reviews here: http://download.cnet.com/Netscape-Navigator/3640-2356_4-10784595-35.html?v=1
Again it is your choice.

polonus

Netscape Navigator…

Hi -midnight,

Does this mean you are going to switch over to this browser which is a mozilla fork with an inferior mozilla engine under the hood?
A zombie browser that did a resurrection trick ;D
Saw someone still using Win 95, but he keeps restoring it. ;D

polonus

Hi polonus,

No, I’m not going to switch. :slight_smile:

No, it is not related only to me.
Whole REGION of Republic Srpska is unable to acces your forum via the Google Chrome.
But on all of those computers access to forum IS POSSIBLE if the user is using - Netscape browser.
You might wanna look in to this… :confused:

(Affected Internet Service Provider is named telekom srpska)
That is an ADSL line.

A few things I noticed:

It's 100% immune to un-wanted add-(ons such as Ask Toolbar) or similar
- It is however vulnerable to many new(er) malwares. - It can't handle the newest security certificates/tls standards. Yes, TLS. SSL is old school and replaced.
It can split screen vertically so that I can, for example watch something on YouTube on my left side of the screen, while I'm on forum or somewhere else on the Internet in the right part of the screen.
You can choose "open in a new screen" with Chrome and other browser to watch two things (or more) at the same time.
It uses ONLY around 20-30% of the CPU resources (Chrome uses 100%) It uses ONLY a few megabytes of RAM memory.. Incredible browser!
Try Opera ;) Incredible? I agree, incredible vulnerable to infections.
Whole REGION of Republic Srpska is unable to acces your forum via the Google Chrome.
And everyone is using the same ISP?

Ever thought it could be the local government that is screwing with things?

The list the other way around: http://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/rs.html

We have a qualified Serbian removal expert here on our forums and I have never heard a similar story from him.
I will ask him for a confirmation of this situation or whether he is aware.

polonus

I’m also using m:tel (ex Telekom Srpske) ADSL and I have no problem accessing this forum. :slight_smile:

EDIT:
Both Firefox 31 and portable Chrome 36 are able to load this forum pages.

Hello,

I am assuming that you are able to view from NetScape due to it not checking the connection.

It is possible to replicate this error here as well, using a certain internet connection(s) and various sites.

Hi !Donovan,

Probably BulmaSoft had another “RipVanWinkle moment”, certainly is not with the Telekom Srpske ADSL guys.
