Here I'm trying to do some search on google.co.ke and get ;untrusted connected error message. I thought it could be that I typed the address wrongly. That instead of typing www. google.co.ke I must have keyed in www,goo,co,ke which occurs a lot to me. But on checking the spelling it's okay. I have just used it about 20 minutes before and it has worked well with me. Is there anyone experiencing the same? PS: I have attached the results scrn shot -- Solomon Mburu P.O. Box 19343 - 00202 Nairobi Cell: (+254-0) 735 431041 Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!

I think it is because they use a www.google.com certificate instead of one explicitly belonging to www.google.co.ke...
Actually there's no issue with the certificate, some guy or malware on your machine could be attempting a man in the middle attack! PLEASE DON'T (AND NEVER) ACCEPT SUSPICIOUS CERTS! Questions you should ask yourself: a) Are you using windows? If so, do you have the latest Security patch installed? - Malware is very common on Windows, switch to Linux/BSD if you can! :) b) Who's your ISP? Call them up and ask why you can't access google.co.ke. - It's possible someone has rooted the ISP and is interfering with your traffic. c) Have you tested this on more browsers? - There could be a firefox plugin that's messing you up! Try Google Chrome <http://www.google.com/chrome>. It has some pretty advanced algorithms for detecting phishing. It could be none of the above though, please get back to us on how you solve this. Cheers! 2009/11/2 Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com>

Thank you all for your input on this. There awas indeed a malware on the system that blocked my access to google.co.ke. One I did a scan of the whole and deleted some of files stored in the temp folder, I was able to get through to google.co.ke
Now I'm up and about. Skunkworks mailing list
