Paypal is a danger apparently to ALL WEB-BROWSERS (https:// security flaw) except...

Mozilla's Firefox 3.5 or higher. Since Paypal is a criminal organization, I wouldn't even consider using them at all. But if you do, you better read this and keep track of your money (whatever is left in this economic environment):

Browser flaw exposes PayPal to hackers
by Chris Dawson

There’s a serious hole blown in PayPal’s security, and there’s very little that PayPal themselves can do to protect users against the exploit. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Apple Safari browsers running on Windows are all affected and the only safe browser is the latest versions of Firefox (version 3.5 or later).

Basically there is a flaw in Microsoft’s CryptoAPI used by many Internet browsers which allows a hacker to display authentic looking pages with https:// URLs. Normally https:// web addresses are secured by SSL certificates, but the flaw allows use of SSL certificates from other sources to be used to replace the PayPal certificate and it’s impossible for the user to spot the difference. The security flaw was first published in July and Microsoft are yet to release a fix. Until then best practice has to be to use the Firefox browser to access PayPal.

The problem is not with paypal, but with MS and the ability to forge the certfiicate. You also get into this situation by going to false sites. I think you need to upgrade your technical skillz.
