Why do all websites bring up 'insecure connection' page whenever I enable the HotSpot Shield VPN add-on?

I installed the HotSpot Shield add-on to my Firefox browser and whenever I enable it, every website (even ones I've never been to before) show an 'Insecure Connection' page error. I have Avast Premium, but I tried disabling every feature on it, including manually unchecking the 'Enable HTTPS Scanning' option. Nothing has worked. Also, I don't have Avast's VPN feature. Likewise, whenever I toggle HotSpot Shield off, I can access websites normally.

Please help.

If you didn't have the problem before, you should contact Hotspot Shield support and ask questions. Perhaps one of its settings if off.

Unfortunately FF enduser forum can't provide support for VPN request. If your planning to use such software you should really contact them before using the software if your not familiar with them.
