Sometimes when I open up Firefox (in Sandboxie) I get a warning from KIS - SSL connection with invalid certificate detected.

These are the 3 certificates that I've seen fire the message:

secure.informaction.com
Issuer: Let's Encrypt Authority X

*.us-west.moz.works
*.cdn.mozilla.net
Issuer: DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA

*.google.com
Issuer: Google Internet Authority G2

I always select "disconnect" and it doesn't seem to affect my web browsing. Has anyone else seen this? I've read that KIS isn't compatible with Sandboxie, so maybe that's the issue?

I also use DNSCrypt, not sure if that is complicating this further.

Any input is appreciated, thanks.

I think K2017 (even after patch C) still has some compatibility issues with SandBoxie, I'm also getting secure connection issue if I try to open FF with SB, but Chrome seems to works well even getting also a warning...

Try to disable DNSCrypt temporally, but I'm not using it and getting also the secure connection issue in FF + SB...

Thanks for sharing.. at least I'm not the only one lol

It's weird because it doesn't happen all the time.

I changed Kaspersky to "always scan encrypted connections" - broke my Sandboxie'd FF.. every site was "insecure" but would run just find outside of the Sandbox.
So I changed it back to the middle option "scan encrypted connections upon request.. blah blah" - and I can again run FF Sandboxed just fine.. though I will still get the popups from Kaspersky as mentioned in my first post.

Harlan, I see your name a lot in older posts on the Kaspersky forums for this issue.. which leads me to believe this issue is not and probably won't get fixed for a while! Wish I'd done more research on this before using KAV!
