    Chrome - Facebook 'site security cannot be trusted''
    Happens to a few other sites too, twitter is one, signing into youtube does similar too.

    When i do proceed on facebook, the whole site is messed up.

    Nothing changed, just turned on computer today and this started happening, making chrome unusable really.



    Any ideas? . Tried all the usual reinstalling, clearing it, scanning computer etc.

    Is the time and date on your PC correct?

    probably best to dispose of it then.

    It's possible you have a virus / other malware that's looking to steal your details to those sites.
    When you get that error, click on the padlock to the left of the address bar and open the certificate information. Who's the issuer? What's the serial number? Google both.

    This happens for me too but it's my college portal so I don't know why it's happening...

    Are you sure it's exactly the same error? A similar error comes up if your college is too cheap to buy a certificate.

    Is it possible that something (malware) has hijacked this guys dns/hosts file and redirected to some other site? Is there such a thing out in the wild?
