Spybot will not scan anymore. Help requested.

All procedures completed. Could not open the information link for XP you provided at bottom of message. Error message came up: This site can’t provide a secure connection.

PC still seems to be working fine. Same symptoms for functioning of Spybot as previous. Thank you!
