bigjim Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Everytime I try to connect online to the Texas Dept. of Public Safety I get a notice that it is an untrusted site. Anyone with insight into this please share. (you might try it and see if you get the same. What should I do. I know I can create an exception but do not know if I should.

TxCowboy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I checked too. Both are OK. Maybe your antivirus is being overly cautious. You can always add the website(s) to your "safe" list.

bigjim Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 l don't know what is going on but when I clicked Stanley's 2 links I got the same warning notice but when I clicked the one from Kirk, no problem. I had initially just type in texasdepartmentofpublicsafety using mozilla. I need to send a secured email document to them or I can snail mail. I also need to print something but have no printer. I was thinking a library but doubt they would have the facility to scan the document. I am assuming scanning is what I need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Jim, That will take you to a search result so there is no telling where you ended up. All too often scammers manage to get a good listing in the search engines and folks that just take the first search result get sent to a bad place.

bigjim Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Could this also be affected by the local isp where I am now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Maybe if their DNS servers got hijacked, try switching to a public server or using the IP address directly.
