I am unable to access a website that I regularly use. There is a warning see below.

"Decryption failed because the HMAC could not be validated."

I have used another browser to this website and can access OK.

Any Ideas?

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
