site not secure

For the last couple of days I cant go to TM's website without getting blocked and "this site is not secure". Any danger hitting ignore and continue?
 
I don’t get a similar alert when I access TM. Perhaps it’s due to a setting in whatever security software you may be running. Is it possible that you have had a recent update or version?

Nothing new on Norton.... wife takes care of things like this. She said I can update from Windows 10 to 11, she will try that.
thanks Don
 
gave up on norton and use windows defender, have np now, Norton takes up a lot of computer space also and was slowing it down, no regrets getting rid of them
 
Barnyard, How long have you been getting that? And do you just accept it and continue to site?
I don't know when it actually started. Yesterday was the first time I went to the site for a while. I cannot accept it. I get this when I close the Norton warning.

AVG is also blocking it. It shows it as blacklisted.

With AVG, as far as I know, the only work around is to disable AVG.
 
The site is old. I think they just need to fix the SSL cert for their site. Their IT department might not even be aware :) . The IP is not on any blacklists. Some systems will not allow you to bypass the warning some will. My Mac lets me view using http: with not secure message but https: blocks it.

This is what I get, I'm no computer guy...
If not already done, should someone report this to TM.?

I'm on Windows 10 with Webroot anti-malware and Duck Duck Go as my browser. The link at the bottom takes me right to the TM site without the warnings you are seeing.

This is the reason for the problem and is about the same results I get with Windows 11 and Edge. If I go to the site with "https://tmtractor.com" I get a "not secure" warning and a "privacy error" display similar to the ones shown by Barnyard and brewzalot. If I use "http://tmtractor.com" or "tmtractor.com" I get similar "not secure" warnings but the page displays properly.

The site has never (to my knowledge) operated through a secure connection. If you are just running into problems now, you have most likely had an update to your operating system, browser or antivirus, or have a change in some setting that they look at. If you can get past the warnings, there shouldn't be a real problem using the site. It looks like when you go to the shopping cart it switches to a site with a secure connection. Since you don't enter any personal information until you get there, I don't think there is much additional risk with using the site. (But it should be fixed.)

Now, I not only get it when going to the site, but once there the warning comes up EVERY time I try to click on something on the site.

Will the appropriate person (Dennis?) on this site see this thread or would he need to be notified ?
 
The problem is with the tmtractor.com site, not this one. If you want to follow up on the problem, you would probably want to talk to Ron or Ric. The main Windy Hill web site is the same way, without a secure link on the front informational pages. So I suspect they are aware of it, but it hasn't risen to the point where they need to deal with. That day may be coming soon. But it is up to them.

Yeah, I understand it's their issue, just thought maybe "our" people" dealt with "their people" seeing they are a site sponsor.
I will contact Ron, I have to call him anyway on my brake band issues...

Thanks Jim
