Yep.

It's just warning you that the site wants to use secured connections, indicating it is supposed to have a high level of trust, but doesn't actually have a high level of trust. It is no worse than just viewing the site without HTTPS at all, except that some browsers make it difficult to override the warning.

Beware if your bank shows that error though.
