Insecure Connection on all browsers, but primarily Firefox
Title is pretty self-explanatory. I had been hit by a huge virus that slowed down my computer and even disabled my antvirus. Before and after cleaning the computer up, every time I try to google search, it brings me to the "Insecure Connection" page. YouTube lacks any and all HTML and can't play videos, and I can't log out of Gmail. I've tested so many of the provided solutions but none have worked.
Interestingly enough, this seems to be the case for Chrome and Edge, and they can't connect to Google-related things at all.

If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source. Click the "Add Exception" button to inspect the certificate in the Certificate Viewer.
If you can't inspect the certificate via "Add Exception" then try this:
Open the "Add Security Exception" window by pasting this chrome URL in the Firefox location/address bar and check the certificate:

In the location field of this window type or paste the URL of the website with the https:// protocol prefix (https://xxx.xxx).

You can inspect details like the issuer and the certificate chain in the Details tab of the Certificate Viewer. Check who is the issuer of the certificate. If necessary then please attach a screenshot that shows the Certificate Viewer with the issuer.
