David, to give you the URL I need to click on it correct ? what is it is a malicious link ?
ASKER
how can I give you the url without clicking on it ?
You would need to give the url that your screenshot is from. That is what David means. In your screenshot, just include the above address bar.
However, the error simply means that you are going to https://some_site.com and that site does not have a valid certificate. Each browser will show this error in a different manner. If you were to click on the advanced button, you are given the opportunity to continue to the site anyway.
if it is your own site AND you are 100% sure you are on the site you think you are on, it is probably safe. This can happen with self signed certificates. However, you could have also had a fat finger slip and instead of typing in some_site.com you ended up at somesite.com where somesite.com is set up only to capture the traffic from common errors typing in some_site.com.

1) You asked, "how can I give you the url without clicking on it ?"
Cut + Paste the URL or in most browsers - Right Click -> Copy Link.
2) You asked, "David, to give you the URL I need to click on it correct ? what is it is a malicious link ?"
This requires an actual URL for testing, including following the URL to it's termination to see if this is malicious code.
Easy to test + know. Impossible to guess.
