    Mozilla Firefox – This Connection is Untrusted

    As I mentioned in my review of Bitdefender Total Security 2013, I ran into an issue where Mozilla Firefox would display a certificate error on my screen when I accessed my Gmail account. In fact the error appeared whenever I access any page within Google, and only Firefox displayed the error, and no other Web browser.

    After some quick research into the problem, I managed to trace the problem to Bitdefender Total Security 2013, and then find what tool within that security suite was causing the problem. Below are the steps I used to solve the issue so I could access Gmail from within Firefox.

    Bitdefender Total Security 2013 Review

    I enjoyed using and reviewing Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 earlier this year, and a few months later I had the same opportunity at reviewing Bitdefender Total Security 2013. I was excited to be given the chance at looking at the newest version since I enjoyed using the previous one, and haven’t had any issues with it running on my computer.

    After about a month of using the software I did notice that it was still a great security suite for a computer, and not just for desktops, but for notebooks and laptops as well. For those that are interesting in installing Bitdefender Total Security 2013 on a laptop, there is a nice new feature you may be interested in.

    Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 Review

    While I have always been an advocate for using free anti-virus, I decide to give Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 a try. I have had bad experiences with paid, large security software that included an anti-virus, anti-spyware, and software firewall in the past, so I installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 onto my computer with great trepidation.

    I have seen good reviews for Bitdefender in the past, so I was curious at how the security software would perform compared to not only free products that I have used, but also those larger paid security packages. Perhaps Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 can finally bring me over to the pay-for-security-software group that I have avoided for the past 10 years or so.
