I Have A Problem With Someting That's Called Snake Oil Ca


Recommended Posts

Hi I'm from Jerusalem, Israel...In the last 3 months there's a site that I cannot open, it's an Israeli site for downloads of music, it's address is: www.mizrahit.co.il

What Iv'e dicovered is that when I try to type https instead of http it goes to an error page that says "There is a problem with this website's security certificate".

yesterday I succeed to see someting that's called " Snake Oil Ca " in the certificate but today for some reason I don't remember how I discovered that thing lol...

however I searched it on google and I found a thread from this forum from last year with exactley the same kind of error, that is some kind of a Trojan horse or malicious software powered by a business site or whatever it is...

it's from 10th July, 2007: http://www.besttechie.net/forums/index.php...=12181&st=0

I read it but I didn't really undesrtood how can I fix this problem and remove that thing thats called: "Snake Oil Ca" cause I tried almost everything to fix the problem that was preventing me from opening the site cause I didn't find any other logical explination for this problem...

I would appreciate if someone can guide me how to fix this...

and by the way, sorry for my "not so good" English, I still have to improve it..

regards !
