https is crossed out (when accessing Experts-Exchange, Skype, etc.)

Is your clock off or date and time?

I just logged out and then back in.  None of the 'visible' pages used HTTPS.

Jeffery Hayes: The clock/date is set to automatically update via the internet. So this shouldn't be a problem


Dave Baldwiin: When I go to 'secure.experts-exchange.com', the https is crossed out with a single red line. The same applies when I'm trying to 'sign in' to Skype. Why?

Many thanks in advance,

Check the certificate of the sites that still has valid ssl. Are the certs for the working pages ok? Does the issuer is one of the well known ones, and the cert is issued for the correct organization?

Could be that your pc is affected by a man in the middle attack and is getting forged certs. Might also be some newly installed browser extensions.

BTW EE as mentioned above is not using https widely, only for login purposes and so on https will be used, even using chrome i dont see the crossed https:// if i enter it manually i got the message the cert is only valid for secure.experts-exchange.com And skype .com is working with https correctly.

So check for browser extensions and test with other browsers, check your router and proxy settings and scan for malware.

I tried going to 'secure.experts-exchange.com' in several ways and it always redirects to a page with 'http', not 'https'.

secure.experts-exchange.com does surely only hold some ressources for login etc. if you call normal EE links from there you will be sent back to the normal servers.

I tried another browser (IE) and there https works fine. So the problem seems to be with Google Chrome.

What should I do?
- delete all add-ons?
- re-install chrome?

Many Thanks!
