PCWRT Signing Certificate Authority?

[RichardGV]

Hi,

My PC popped up a couple of certificate errors this morning that essentially said that the SSL/TLS certificates for ‘imap.googlemail.com’ is not trusted. The signing authority for the certificate was (can’t post screenshots, dangit!):
pcWRT
Identity: pcWRT
Verified by: pcWRT
Expires: 01/21/2028

Subject Name
C (Country): US
ST (State): TX
L (Locality): Dallas
O (Organization): pcWRT232a80c6
CN (Common Name): pcWRT

Issuer Name
C (Country): US
ST (State): TX
L (Locality): Dallas
O (Organization): pcWRT232a80c6
CN (Common Name): pcWRT

Issued Certificate
…

Why would pcWRT be providing SSL/TLS certificates for imap.googlemail.com or apidata.googleusercontent.com (my google calendar, apparently)? Should I be worried that someone has hacked into my router?

Thanks,
Richard

The certificate you saw came from the router. Basically the router intercepted your requests to Google and was trying to send down a message informing you that Google was blocked by domain name or a calendar.
