Hello Forums! This started about a day ago I think. When visiting secure sites like https://google.com(or any other site using HTTPS) Chrome gives me a security warning. YT wasn't effected until just a few minutes ago. I also tried using IE, same errors. I tried changing timezone/what website Windows uses to sync it's clocks and this error didn't go away. (I had previously gotten suggestions to do that.) Here's a pic one of the errors: It was also giving me a different one but that let me ignore the warning where as this one doesn't. (Yes I know this is a repost but I figured you guys may be able to help me more than the troubleshooting forum.)

You want to know what checking your hosts settings means.

I rebooted the machine to check the BIOS time/date configuration. (I'd heard reports that a failing CMOS battery might disrupt these settings.) Everything looked fine, so I powered it up. Now Chrome works with HTTPS again! That means my recent action helped restore functionality. Thanks everyone! @iHammy @ ItsFTP
