I understand the risks and wish to continue

I can type the URL in my address bar in my browser (Opera GX /MS Edge) and it will open normally without this message.
If I click on "wish to continue" it comes up with another window

Kaspersky
Failed to Establish a Secure Connection with a Website
web address redirect2.start.me
Continue Anyway?

When I click on continue anyway a webpage comes up with the following message and a logo for my ISP at the top left

I have no clue why this is happening now , the website shouldn't be blocked, I can open the website normally within my browser.. Something unusual happening and I need help in resolving why all of a sudden this is happening. Other websites are also experiencing the same issue but not all from launching from within start.me --another website linked in start.me is same problem but Shop groceries online | Coles Supermarket is not
eg.

Not much help to you, but I also have Woolworths in my address bar and use Kaspersky. I don’t have these problems. Possibly resetting Kaspersky, although I am not sure how.
There’s almost obviously an issue with redirect2.start.me? I don’t use it so I can’t offer more help with that. However you mention it can also happen directly using the browsers address bar, so that’s a strange one.

The iloveyou web address. I get the same. Even from my iPad.

Have you tried clearing your cookies/history?
Have you scanned for adware/malware on your PC?

Try this one? I don’t know what else to suggest, sorry @PvtJohnTowle

No it doesn't happen when I enter the url in the web browser address, that's why it's so strange ..

I can type the URL in my address bar in my browser (Opera GX /MS Edge) and it will open normally without this message.

Are you clicking on the link from within start.me ? It's a start up page you can customise all your favourite websites ..

It found 6 PUP's and I have quarantined them. It doesn't change the error message and I cannot open this website still.

I have tried different browsers, e.g Brave , Firefox and Google Chrome, still same issue and message about the website not being trustworthy..

Have you tried to white list the start.me page in Kaspersky? You could also just turn on Windows Defender and exit Kaspersky
for a trial run.

Where does the iloveyou website come into it? Did woolworths get redirected to it via start.me???

No, John, I didn’t click via start.me because I don’t have it installed sorry. I was just saying that I can reach woolworths with kaspersky installed, so it would stand to reason that it is start.me that has issues. Whitelisting start.me as @Flashorn suggests would be a good thing to try. I however have never whitelisted anything in kaspersky.

Have you run a scan after those PUPS were found ?
Do you know which program(s) these belong too?
You can also do a online scan which doesn't involve any
install:



OR


OR MRT which is already on your PC / notebook
Just search for MRT , right click and run as admin.

Clean out the trash with either CCleaner or the MS Disk Cleanup.

Thanks everyone. start.me support has fixed this and the website is no longer blocked.
