When I click on the link on my phone, I get the message below.
Not sure if it's an Android phone thing, an Australian think or website thing??

On my Firefox PC browser, I see the following:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to www.restorationnews.biz. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
What can you do about it?
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.


I'd guess their security certificate is expired.

I changed the https to http and got through. I suspect their security certificate, if they had/have one, is out of date.

IT'S NO BIG DEAL... just your browser warning of an expired certificate, NO DANGER - NO RUSSIAN HACKERS - NO THREATS...

Maybe you weren't wearing your mask... :lol:
I got the same message, ignored it and no problems - it's a safe, normal, commercial website that apparently wasn't updated... :roll:

I updated the link to http: and no more warnings: http://www.restorationnews.biz/Resource/Downloads.aspx

Hi Curt:
Thanks for confirming. I usually obey the warnings after a near disaster happened several years ago when I ignored one and proceeded to the site.
