My like button no longer works on Wordpress sites, and when I try to leave a message, it won't take my "sign in" for wordpress, telling me it's a security risk

when I hit "like" on a blog post, a pop up window appears for a second and then disappears. The like will not work. Also when I try to leave a comment, it asks me to log in under either "wordpress" "twitter" or facebook", yet when I try, a pop up tells me the site is not considered "safe" and I can't scroll down the popup to tell it that I am fine with the site and to continue.

I have found that changing the ZOOM can bring the bottom of the notice up.
