Where is the kaspersky certificate located. Checking secure connections in Mozilla Firefox

Almost every user has faced many problems in the browser. One such problem is SSL connections, which prevents you from viewing the pages you want. Let's figure out all the ways to fix this problem.

First step

So, first you need to decide what kind of problem it is, where it comes from, and only then look for ways to fix it. If an SSL connection error appears on your computer when you try to connect to a page on the Internet through a browser, then this indicates that the problem is caused by a mismatch in the system. Therefore, this needs to be corrected, but, as practice shows, it is not as easy to do as it might seem at first glance.

Often all installed browsers refuse to work. The only way out is to use standard IE, which in 90% of cases does not give such an error. This browser can be used until a solution is found. In simple words, an SSL error indicates that it is impossible to establish a connection to the server for some reason. Let's figure out what causes this kind of problem.

Reasons for the SSL error

So, there are often only a few ways to find out what exactly prevents you from entering the Internet normally. So, first of all, you need to check the settings of your antivirus, since it is he who can block connections, which is why all the problems arise. You may need to add the browser to the exceptions and set less stringent control over inbound and outbound traffic. It is also recommended to check If necessary, lower the protection level.

Back at Google, an SSL connection error can occur when you don't have an antivirus program and your system is infected. In principle, this is solved either by reinstalling the OS, or by scanning the system to find infected files. Also note that you may have lost your time settings. Consequently, a mismatch is detected on the server and the connection is identified as unreliable or insecure. Another common reason is an outdated browser.

SSL origin connection error

If you like to play good games on your computer and buy them over the Internet, then most often such a product requires activation. Despite the fact that it is a minute process, it can be a real headache for you due to the failure of the SSL protocol. However, the detailed error text may look different. For example: "Client Authentication Certificate is required" or "SSL_ERROR_PROTOCOL". You can fix everything as follows.

We go into the antivirus, if, of course, it is available. Next, we go into the settings, to be more precise, we need the line "filtering the https protocol". Here you need to uncheck the box, that is, turn it off. We reboot the computer and try to install origin. If everything went well, then If not, it is advisable to install the game from disk and try to simply update it. What else can help is using a different browser, for example, not Chrome, but Opera.

SSL connection error: fixing the problem

Let's figure out what to do if this kind of problem appears. First of all, don't panic. Everything is not so scary and can be solved in a few minutes. The main reason for the error is that, as noted above, this happens for several reasons. One of them is a dead battery in the BIOS. It can be changed, it costs 40-50 rubles.

We also pay attention to the antivirus and the list of blacklisted programs. It will block the connection of these applications. It is worth noting that a broken registry can often be the cause of the problem. Most users are puzzled over a solution to the problem, but sometimes it happens that this is not a mistake at all. The point is that most browsers allow you to enable or disable support for SSL files. It is enough to find the desired parameter in the settings and check the box, after that the problem should be solved.

Enable SSL and Cookie in the Browser

In some cases, this protocol is not required. But when you want to use Adsense pages, this parameter must be enabled. The same applies to cookies. In principle, for normal operation and display of information, incl. and ads, you need a working SSL. So, let's move on to setting up the browser. First of all, you need to go to the menu, and then select the settings.

There you should see the "Additional Settings" tab, which is what we need. The next step is to select the "Content settings" item, and then you need to go to "Personal data". In front of us will be a menu called "Cookies". We go there and check the box opposite the item "Saving local data". Close the tab and go to HTTPS / SSL. Here you need to do a similar job. Check the box next to the line "Check if the certificate has been revoked from the server". If the checkbox is not checked, then SSL operation will be incorrect. That's all, restart the browser and get to work.

A few more simple ways to solve the problem

If you do not have time to deal with browser settings or scan the system, then you can try several times in a row to which you need to go. It is likely that after that the information will be partially displayed. However, in the future you will need to do everything according to the instructions. Another way out is to reset the browser settings to Default, that is, to the standard ones. This will enable / disable all necessary plugins and scripts. It is also recommended to clear the cache, which sometimes gives a positive result. You can also go to the Windows folder, then system 32, then to the drivers to find the "etc" file there. The last line should look like this: 127.0.0.1. Everything below this inscription must be deleted. After doing this, google the SSL connection error will go away.

Several important points

Please note that sometimes sites without reliable or expired certificates are a kind of virus carrier. In this case, it is normal to see a window that says "SSL connection error".

What to do if you still need to visit the resource, you ask. To do this, you must continue the connection, confirming your decision. In this case, you can get a virus on your computer, which is not good. Although if you have it installed, it will give you a message and automatically block work with a malicious site.

Now you know what is SSL connection error. We also figured out how to fix it. I need to say a few more words about the need to periodically clean the Cookie in your browser. This will not only speed up page loading, but also save you from the above problem. It is advisable at least occasionally to conduct a full system scan for viruses and suspicious files.

Conclusion

You must understand that if you get this kind of error, then something is wrong with the computer. First of all, check the time. If the year, month or time of day is not true, you need to fix everything. To do this, in the desktop tray of your operating system, click several times on the clock and set the real values. This usually fixes the problem immediately. If this does not happen, go to and see if SSL is enabled. If everything is as it should be, then, most likely, it is the antivirus program or a malicious file that is blocking the connection. Removing or quarantining should help.

When I installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus, or rather Kaspersky Internet Security for All Devices (Version 2016 (16.0.0.614)) on a freshly purchased laptop with Windows 8.1 x64 operating system, the first time I tried to go to the Yandex website (true for Google), I got the following warning in browser window FireFox x64 v43.0.0:

At the same time, most other sites working on the HTTPS protocol, including my blog, opened quite normally. That is, there were no failures in the operation of the browser.

How Kaspersky checks secure SSL connections

Kaspersky Anti-Virus checks secure SSL connections by installing a Kaspersky Lab certificate (self-signed certificate). And the absence of such a certificate in the browser storage leads to the described error. Automatic certificate installation works for Internet Explorer browser. And for Mozilla Firefox, in order to fix the above error, you need to manually register the certificate in the browser settings.

How to add a Kaspersky certificate to FireFox

To add a certificate from Kaspersky, follow these steps:
Go to browser settings

In the "Additional" section of the "Certificates" menu, click the [View Certificates] button

In the "Certification Authorities" tab, click the [Import ...] button

Select a certificate (fake) Kaspersky Anti-Virus personal root certificate.cer... Which Kaspersky 16.0.0.614 in Windows 8.1 is located at C: \ ProgramData \ Kaspersky Lab \ AVP16.0.0 \ DataCert and click the [Open] button
If you do not see the folder in your browser ProgramData then read how to fix it.

In the window that appears, check the required options (I selected all). And click [OK]

Now, in the list of the FireFox certificate store, you should see a Kaspersky Lab certificate, which the browser will consider trusted.

After carrying out all the above actions, the Yandex and Google sites began to open normally.

How to enable viewing of hidden folders in Windows Explorer

Go to the control panel and select the "Folder options"

In the "View" tab, check at the very bottom the item "Show hidden files, folders and drives"

Alternative solution to unblock HTTPS protocol in Kaspersky

This option is to disable the scan of protected connections by Kaspersky. To do this, go to the antivirus settings.

Kaspersky CRYSTAL 3.0 checks the data transmitted over the SSL protocol.
To authenticate web servers and secure the SSL communication channel between the web server and the user's computer Kaspersky CRYSTAL 3.0 uses a self-signed electronic certificate. If, when visiting a possibly infected web resource, its certificate is determined by the program as untrusted, then Kaspersky CRYSTAL 3.0 will either terminate the connection or offer to accept / reject the certificate.
Certificate Kaspersky CRYSTAL 3.0 automatically installed in browsers Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google chrome... For browser Opera the certificate must be installed manually.
