Chrome NET::ERR_CERT_WEAK_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM Error on Windows

Every time when I search for a URL that starts with https, Google Chrome shows the error:

Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from chrome.google.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_WEAK_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM

I don't what is wrong is their any problem in Internet settings or with Google Chrome. How can I fix this?

This problem's fix in Linux is running in terminal: sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d
& since you're working on windows, to get the missed library it's pretty hard to find and install it as a one, so it's much easier to uninstall & re-install Google chrome will completely solve the problem.

1 - Open chrome then press f12 ( win+f12 or ctrl +f12 )
2 - Open Security tap and view certificate ( red ! ) should be seen
3 - check Issued by ( my case was Superfish Inc ) this is the software that makes your error. SSL certificate not trusted.

please check this link for superfish Inc removal if your case is same if not check manual removal part.
Manual remove :
1- control panel-> add remove program -> remove program which was seen in step 3.

2- In windows start menu search for Certificate. choose manage computer certificates.

3- Open trusted Root certification and choose expired certificate that was found in step 3 . Right click in that and delete it.

4- MOST important part of computer world RESTART NOW :D

I hope it be useful for you .

This specific error is caused by an SSL certificate used to secure the site not having a strong enough encryption algorithm. The owner of the website will need to re-issue their SSL cert using a stronger algorithm.
