Muddiest Point

I'm curious about digital certificates. Couldn't people pretend to certify a web site and then somehow infect the user's computer or gather personal information. It just seems like people create spams, Spyware, Adware, all such things and try to come across as legitimate sites, so couldn't they pretend to be a legitimate certified site to trick people as well?

it is the job of certificate authority to make sure that the company is legal in it actions. it is a system based on trust.
