Gather Points link Untrusted?

I have never had a problem getting to Gather points before, so now when I went to check how many points I needed for cashout of 50.00  I got a message that said this

You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to earnings.gather.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.



Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.







What Should I Do?





If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.











Technical Details



earnings.gather.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 5/15/2010 4:03 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)







I Understand the Risks

 

If this is an expired certificate, how do I fix it, or what do I do to not be aware that someone is trying to spoof the Gather page and hack my account.

I got this yesterday when I went to cashout, I just went on and cashed out with no problems.

Never had anything like this happen before.

Mine did that yesterday. I clicked on that it was ok to go on, and didn't have any problems.
Mooch, if you can possibly hold off on cashing out, I would until they get it reinstated.

If you trust the site, then you are OK to proceed to the intended page...but in either case, Gather should have this resolved early tomorrow.

I went through, I wasn't cashing out, but whenever I see that I usually get the heck out of there. I would not have cashed out with that error, I just wanted to see the points needed to cash out.

I would wait until it doesn't say that. I'm with you, Mooch. It's not worth it.

We are sorry about the problem Mooch. There were some users having this problem but it should be fixed by now. No need to worry!
