This is a different problem. The NAS uses self-signed certificates. That's enough to get an encrypted connection, but (by definition) the PC has to trust that the NAS is the device it claims to be. A certificate issued by a certificate authority like verisign can be verified, but the self-signed certicate can't be.
Unfortunately many fake web sites use self-signed certificates, so the browser folks have had to respond by adding these warnings.
The simplest work-around is to click-through them when you are accessing the NAS. But if you ever see these warnings when you are connecting somewhere else (for instance your bank's web pages) then you shouldn't do that. Also, it's best to go directly to those websites in your browser, and not click on links in emails (which may be malicious).
Hi StephenB,
You hit the nail with your question, do you have "internet security software".
Inside Kaspersky Ant-Virus there is a facility called Web-Antivirus .The goal of it is to check if the pages you open are safe.
By turning off this facility the WebGui facility resumed fully!

This I did overcome by accepting manually connection overruling to the NAS.
I have not been playing around by the "protection level" of Kaspersky Web-Antivirus (High/Recommended/Low) to see if I can contnue using the facility. By default it was on Recommended and made the NAS WebGui fail for ~60% of the menu entry’s.
Long may live the forum support community and thanks again to StephenB.
Kind Regards, Erik.
