If you look at the URL, it starts http, whereas most websites are now https. This mean that the data sent to and from yamahar.co.uk is not encrypted and can be read by anyone who intercepts the data.

Obviously important for your banking, but not for a public forum, unless you are sending PM's containing highly sensitive information!

So you can safely ignore the message from your laptop.

Didn't notice that until now, mine too and its anti-virus is up to date. Maybe the hosting has changed something?

Have a read of my post above. Don't know why I bother sometimes... :)

Nothing has changed; it's just that security apps and even browsers are now checking whether websites are secure.

Apologies Duncan, did read your thread but just confirming he wasn't alone.
Maybe just realised why I stopped working in the IT sector ? :oops: :think:
