Not I.
I'd try a different browser/computer. Might be malware or something
I tried 2 browsers, I'll see if my other computer at home has issues.

Trying to access Gmail and I keep getting a warning from my filter that it's a malicious site, when I tried from Chrome I got the same warning from Chrome's filter. Anyone else having this?
Probably either -
1. A problem with your av, or
2. You have avirus that is redirecting you

Good idea. You could also try booting into safe mode and see if that fixes it
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

It does (or more accurately mail.google.com).

Here is the error I get from Norton:
Quote
This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to mail.google.com, 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.

mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for search.dnsadvantage.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

When I try logging in from Chrome I get this:
Quote
Cannot connect to the real mail.google.com

Something is currently interfering with your secure connection to mail.google.com.

Try to reload this page in a few minutes or after switching to a new network. If you have recently connected to a new Wi-Fi network, finish logging in before reloading.

If you were to visit mail.google.com right now, you might share private information with an attacker. To protect your privacy, Chrome will not load the page until it can establish a secure connection to the real mail.google.com.

What does this mean?

mail.google.com normally uses encryption (SSL) to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to mail.google.com this time, mail.google.com returned unusual and incorrect credentials. Either an attacker is trying to pretend to be mail.google.com, or a Wi-Fi login screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later. You can also try switching to another network.


Technical details

mail.google.com has asked Chrome to block any certificates with errors, but the certificate that Chrome received during this connection attempt has an error.

Any simple way to fix that?
The virus would have to be in the router being that the problem is in both of my computers...

It looks to me like the filter is blocking gmail and redirecting to the blocked site page. This is causing the certificate to be from the filter and not google.
Feelings don't care about your facts

Going incognito didn't work and disabling the filter didn't work. I ran a complete scan with my AV that didn't find anything.

Why would the filter block Gmail?

It wouldn't block gmail.  However, I have seen filters (particulqrly K9) have some issues with ssl.

Try changing the DNS on your computer to 8.8.8.8

Do you know how to do that, or do you need instructions?

I Would probably need instructions unless it's something that a simple Google search can help with but I'm not home now so it'll have to wait for the evening.
