Why do I get a warning that the name on the security certificate does not match the name of the site?
|
|
|
If you click the 'View Certificate' button, you will find the certificate is registered to the www.CompBiz.net secure servers, which is our corporate web site where this community Web site is also hosted. Because we host several online communities with different domain names you will receive this warning. This is normal and you should click 'Yes' to proceed. You information will remain secure and protected despite this warning.

You can check the box "In the future, do not show this warning" and you will not be prompted again when entering a secured area.

Why do I get a warning that the page contains both secure and non-secure items?
|
|
|
This is normal and caused by graphic images that are intended to display on the page and are not stored on the server in a secured area. You should click yes to also display non-secure items. If you click no, then the graphic images will display as broken links. Regardless, the page and all data exchanged on the page will be secure.

Is my personal information secure? If I make a purchase, is my credit card information secure?
|
|

Yes! All CompBiz community secure servers protect your information using advanced encryption and firewall technology throughout the member console and ordering process. Most browsers will show a lock icon in the bottom status bar on secure pages. Look for this icon on any web page that asks for your personal information. To further ensure your security, we use state-of-the-art SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect your personal information from unauthorized use.
