I should have also said that if you see that warning on any web site such as a financial, shopping, or medical similar site you should stop and think very hard before you continue. You are probably risking giving away your credit card details, sensitive medical data or similar to someone who is trying to steal it and will use it for criminal purposes.

Addresses starting https:// are encrypted and should be secure - but don't be careless because the bad guys are getting cleverer all the time.
