My antivirus software (Bitdefender) warns me that Vikingsword is not a secure site and I have to ignore it for logging in

I seem to remember Lee explaining the reason for retaining the present designation; IIRC it had something to do with switching the address from http to https.

I'm sure he can enlighten us does he see this.

Yes, where "secure" is the warning, that is correct HTTP to HTTPS protocol fixes this, like everything, it is an added cost for hosting.

My site still shows available with both protocols... why I don't know exactly, I would have expected HTTPS to be the default, but I think having the HTTPS sorted in the background now negates the security warning issue regardless of how it is approached...

Anyway, thanks for the link David, appreciated. There might be a safe space I can open it, I'll ask my IT guy, as it was he who encouraged me to go HTTPS to indicate it is a legit and safe site, to gain a larger audience trust.
