It looks like you may have misunderstood what the error message says or what is displayed in the dialog box. The message has nothing to do with your avira antivirus. This kind of message usually appears on websites that has expired or invalid security certificates. You don’t have to worry anything because the problem doesn’t concern your machine.

The problem here is from the website you are visiting. You can simply ignore the message if ever it pops up again and just continue on browsing the site. I’m sure the site will notice this error and will fix this problem as soon as possible. This kind of security certificate problem is usually a sign of phishing on websites you haven’t visited yet before or is completely unknown to you. You should be aware when this happens and avoid entering valuable information like bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and others.
