Chrome is now showing warnings in the address bar to all users if the website they are viewing is not SSL secured. This started with Chrome 68 version and still continues today. If you see this warning, it does not mean that your system has a problem or is infected. It only means that the data between the website and your computer is not secure and could be seen by anyone.
If you are a frequent visitor to that website, you might ask the webmaster or owner to have SSL installed on their site. There have been rumors that installing the SSL Certificate will improve that websites ranking in search results over a non-secure website. If they continue to run an unsecured website, do not enter any personal information to include logging in, financial data, and the like. This information could be visible to others and some browsers will not even take you to the website.
Having an SSL Certificate installed on a website is not very complicated. Webmasters only need to contact their hosting company and request SSL thru their cpanel or direct to the hosting provider
