Hey, ive had this popup twice now, while my browser has been closed, saying

The site has a valid certificate
but doesnt match the name

or something, So i denied it access. and now the advert isnt showing at the bottom of my MSN (GOOD!)

Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Keeps happening on my MSN too, everytime I leave MSN then load it and the security popup comes up then the advert has a little X. Glad it's just not me!

Oh yeah, I had that on MSN too. I was like "What the hell is this" then I realized it was for a silly advert on MSN.

It means you're connecting via SSL and the site doesn't have a valid SSL certificate set up.

Nah, it means that you're connecting to the wrong domain for the certificate.

I view it as more of a case of:

Wrong Domain, Correct Certificate

than

Right Domain, Wrong Certificate

Self signed certificates?

Wrong Domain, Correct Certificate and Right Domain, Wrong Certificate - I would call both invalid certificate for the domain in question.
