I'm having the same issue in the last week or so when I try to log in. I'm getting a security alert. The only work around is to say yes to proceed in order to allow log in. I've had numerous issues trying to log into since the last patch.

Hi Lynch,

I'm afraid the security alert you received is not caused by MYOB instead, it is an issue blocking the client computer from downloading and installing the new certificate. No worries - , I'll be more than happy to assist you in resolving your concern about security alert. Please follow the steps provided below to correct the situation:

To install the certificate:

Download the required root certificate. https://symantec.tbs-certificats.com/vsign-universal-root.cer
Double click the downloaded .cer file.
Click Open.
Click Install Certificate.
Select Local Machine and click Next.
Select Place all certificates in the following store.
Click Browse.
Select Trusted Root Certification Authorities and click OK.
Click Next.
Click Finish.
You can now open AccountRight Live and login as normal.

Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.

  Hi Lynch,
  
  Thanks for getting back to us!
  
  Even though the message might seem a bit alarming, I want to assure you that the link is completely safe, and you can proceed without any worries. However, if you still have concerns about the link's security, I'd suggest looking for alternative sources for the certificates. It's important to note that these certificates are not from MYOB. Since this seems to be more of a computer-related issue rather than something specific to MYOB, I recommend discussing it with your IT Personnel for further guidance and reassurance.
  
  In the meantime, feel free to create a new thread if you require any other assistance.
