Yeah the certificate error either has to do with your own computer's clock being off or they just forgot to update it. Or it could be a hacker trying to impersonate them, but that's not very likely. In any case, the connection IS secure, otherwise you wouldn't get the certificate error.

Speaking of Mad Rock, I just received a SPAM from them. I think because I made a purchase last year. I never asked them to send me newsletters, promos, or other crap, yet they did.

I suggest you use a fake/disposable email address when doing business with them, or better yet choose another vendor that understands SPAM is not an acceptable way to do marketing.

And if you think I'm overreacting, I'll give you the password to an older email account of mine that I abandoned due to it receiving about 100 SPAM emails a day. Last I checked, it was still up at that level so it's a veritable treasure trove of Viagra ads and other great offers.

Shop safe!
