Google 'Connection Untrusted' on Firefox after Windows 10 Upgrade
I don't know if this due to upgrading to Windows 10, a Firefox upgrade or a Kapersky upgrade, but when I try and use Google it says the connection is untrusted.

How do I resume the normal service I had yesterday?
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to Google, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

Google uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

It looks as though I have answered my own question by removing Google from my list of search engine, then adding Google Encrypted. This seems to work. I don't know if any functionality has been lost.
