Title: PC Forum Unsafe?
Post by: custerhank on February 09, 2025, 06:56:17 pm

  FYI My antivirus (Malwarebytes) did not want to let me access the site until I did an override. It said the site license was 5 days expired. Doesn't look like anyone else had this problem.

I had the same problem, not sure what to make of it.

As with so-called safe sites, I don't post personal information including my phone number or email address into public posts.  I am not sure it is enough of a safe guard, but it is what I practice.  The only exception I make is using my real name as my user ID.

it simply means their security key is expired.  So you end up at http instead of  https

Phoenix is aware of this and will get it fixed.

And yes, I am getting it  again.

This is not anything to worry about.  If there were a payment system (as in if PC sold items and accepted payments here) then I would be concerned.  But it's simply an expired security certificate and whoever is physically operating the web server needs to purchase a new certificate & "key".
