Oops, you need to redirect google.com/adsense

Nothing scares web visitors like a security warning message when visiting a web site, particularly if that web site holds your financial records.

Google, I suggest you guys fix your redirect to point to https://www.google.com/adsense instead. And it probably wouldn't hurt to spring the few hundred bucks for a security certificate for google.com too! ;-)

This issue probably isn't isolated to just the AdSense site, so it would be worthwhile to check all your sites for this issue.
