FLOOD.
Thank you for your assistance on this matter but I think I have solved it. On a whim, I removed all of my secure web site addresses from the Kaspersky Encrypted Connection Scanning exclusion list. After a reboot, all of the links are opening in the Safe Money browser as they were previously. Also, I am not getting any of the secure connection error messages so evidently Kaspersky made some changes to rectify that issue at some time.
Thanks again,
Lawrence Licata
