google-analytics Pop Up
 

Sometimes when I am on 2+2 I get this pop-up saying something about a certificate being expired or invalid and google-analyics and google.com. It goes on to say something along the lines of

"Although it is unlikely, someone could be trying to access your account/computer? through this site. If you do not think the certificate is valid please contact the site administrator."

Sorry I can't be more specific. The box requires me to cancel it before I can continue on 2+2. Has this been addressed already on here or it is just me? I have anti-virus and firewall, and yada, yada, yada. I wasn't real worried about it, but it's been happening randomly a few times a day for about a week now. The certificate seems legite as the main address for it is www.google.com. Help? Anybody?

Personally, I see that message whenever I'm being bounced from my home page (google) to a verification page, like first signing into a wireless network.

Is this really just a random popup? There's no correlation to your activites?

Basically google has certificates for google.com, but for some reason hasn't worked out (from what I can tell) certificates for their other domains & subdomains. So it's installing a cert for google-analytics.com, but the cert they are giving you is registered to google.com, so it's saying you can't be sure who it is.

But it's google.com that owns it, so you're fine.

Howdy Sam,

Yeah I'm sure it's definitely correlated to something I'm doing. The problem is I always have so much crap up on the comp. (multiple poker tables, multiple web pages) that I can never figure out what exactly is causing it.

Thank you sir. I figured it was nothing to worry about b/c the certificate seemed to be from google, but just wanted to be sure.
