    I am getting a "Your connection is not private" warning when coming onto the site, if I bypass it my browser bar is saying "not secure".

    Anyone else getting this?

    I am not. What browser are you using?
    Try another to see if the same warning.

    Trying clearing your cache, and browsing history, and open directly to vfrworld.com. Maybe you had a redirect to an unsafe site?

    Well, that sucks on your end. I can open with both Internet Explore and Chrome without issues...meaning no unsafe site or security warnings.
    I wondering if your PC already has malware on it, or your browser security settings have changed causing your browser to interpret something (and ad maybe) as a potential security risk? I wonder if this happens if you open other sites with ads?

    Only on this site, have ran anti malaware and a full system scan, nothing showing.

    Top right of my browser has a warning saying, "this page is trying to run unauthorised scripts."

    Well, we recently changed from HTTP to a more secure HTTPS. The site should be even more secure. Three layers of encryption.

    I didn't do anything to fix this. I can still reply and interact with this site even with the warnings.

    I meant that the VFR admins will have to fix this issue.

    Me too. Firefox warns that my credentials can be compromised. Full Malwarebytes scan and Panda Cloud scan. My PC is clean.

    Thought it was fixed yesterday but got the warning once. No problem this morning. Weird.
    Found out Amazon's Kindle "Silk" browser is a version of Android.

    Nope. Your security settings in your browser may have changed to something more aggressive.
