How Do I Disable SSL?

SSL is used to encrypt communication and help keep it more secure. "This feature is used on websites that require a user name and password for entry, to make it more difficult for a hacker to intercept your communication and steal your personal information.

In most cases, leaving SSL enabled is desirable, as it increases your security when you browse the Web. However, Web browsers generally give you the ability to disable this feature if you wish. Disable SSL in your Web browser if you do not want users on your computer to display SSL-enabled websites.
