Windows Security

Question

Dear All,

How can we know if a warning certificate (from Adobe Intermediate CA 10-6) is reliable or not? Besides, how to procedure to disable these warnings without damage the O.S.? I would have attached the print screen related to this warning here, but there isn't a way.

Thank you.

Hi @Paula Nunes Miguel

The reliability of the warning certificate depends on the following factors:

Certificate validity period: The certificate has an expiration date, after which it is no longer valid and needs to be renewed. If you see a warning that your certificate has expired, the website or software hasn't updated its certificate and might not be secure.

Issuer trustworthiness: The reliability of a certificate depends on the issuer that provided it. If you trust the issuer, such as Adobe, you can trust the certificate. However, some issuers may be compromised or fraudulent and issue false or malicious certificates. If you see a warning that your card issuer is unknown or untrusted, the website or software may be illegitimate and may pose a risk to your data or device.

Certificate compatibility: Certificates may not be compatible with your browser or operating system, which may cause errors or warnings. For example, some certificates use older browsers or newer encryption algorithms that the system may not support. If you see a warning that the certificate is incompatible, the website or software may not work properly or securely on your device.

Hope the information is helpful.

Best Regards,
