Hello all.

I’ve had an issue since a windows update a while back where I get “Oops! We ran into some problems. Security error occurred. Please press back, refresh the page, and try again”.

This is only when I try to login with up-to-date google chrome and up-to-date windows. I think it started after that security update awhile back when a whitehat hacker group accidentally posted the exploit their website and so Microsoft had to push out an emergency update. Or maybe it was the one after that to fix the emergency update.

Obviously pressing back and refreshing the page didn’t work and that’s why I’m here.

THINGS I HAVE TRIED:
-closing and restarting the browser
-Restarting the computer
-Clearing “cached images and files” as well as “cookies and other site data”, also restarted again after doing that.
-Trying Microsoft edge (the only other browser installed). It also failed with the same error.

All have failed, and I’m pretty much stumped. At first I wasn’t too worried, I can just post from my phone and the mobile site is very good. But then I found out I got the same error when I tried to search. That’s a bigger problem! (Searching with the phone is not easy)

I use Chrome...Win10...I've had issues lately, but my latest speed test was 0.12mbps....so I know that's the issue.

just tried Firefox to no avail, but then I realized it might be antivirus.

Sure enough, turning bitdefender off fixed it (which surprises me, as it hasn’t given me any problems in maybe 6 years of use).

Apparently it didn’t like storage.googleapis.com (says it’s an infected web resource), but there’s like 600 of them so idk how to fix this other than giving them all exclusions. (or just turning off antivirus every time I login. Once I'm logged in I can turn it on and it's all fine)

Algorithmically speaking, how ditbefender is coded to perceive threats, isn't it tho?
Someone, somewhere, didn't get a memo.

Actually I'm not sure if that's what was happening anymore other than that it seems to be a bitdefender issue, here's the thread on the issue.

Bug: - Replying to threads & PM fails; also logging in from different browser fails with "security error".

Google Chrome is my normal browser on my Windows 10 laptop, and it's where I was experiencing these issues. I am trying to reply to a PM, and the website fails each time with the error message: "Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser...
