If I try to access this site, I get the following error from Bitdefender:
----------------------------------------Suspicious page blocked for your protection https://www.wcgsig.com/ Your connection to this web page is not safe due to an unmatching security certificate. This means that the certificate was issued for a different web address than the one it is being used for, and you run the risk of exposing your data by accessing this page.  |

What is www.wcgsig.com suppose to be? That site is not safe but I'm not sure what is has to do with WCG.

It only pops up when I visit certain threads, so I think there must be one or more users who are linking to that domain to generate their forum signature, if I had to guess. I thought that domain was managed by WCG but maybe not. If you own wcgsig.com, please update your security certificate(s)!

I thought that domain was managed by WCG but maybe not. If you own wcgsig.com, please update your security certificate(s)! Looking at the domain registration for wcgsig it's NOT hosted by Krembil or Jurisica. Host registration is to a 3rd party dedicated server in Florida.

This in the hosts file "fixes" the problem.
0.0.0.0 wcgsig.com 0.0.0.0 www.wcgsig.com |

That was SNURK's site for the custom signature he was providing on a volunteer basis. It hasn't been active for some time now, which is why I deleted it from mine.

I also added www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk to my hosts file as that domain is throwing a certificate error too.
