Suspicious Connection Blocked when Browsing, Mismatched Certificate

L Ron Howard

As I'm browsing with my anti-virus turned, it's going crazy as I browse around PA.
Basically it looks like a mismatched certificate.
Is hw1.pa-cdn.com good? I think that might be a Penny Arcade thing, but I am not sure.

I've started to notice the same thing. Did you ever get a response for this?

Might be someone's sig image with a borked cert. It's happened before.

I never got a response from anyone.

It happens everywhere on the forums.

I take it that that's not something I, as an end-user, can do, right?

no, you can't fix it. In Chrome, you could potentially use the Request blocking developer tool to block that domain, to silence the Bitdefender alerts. But I'm not sure Request blocking works without the developer tools window open so that's a pretty annoying workaround.
