Any tools to check any web site is secured or not?

[Hotmail problem with outlook express]

There are two general indications of a secured web page, but I found none for
www.i-access.com, but customer service representative mention they used other
tools for security, so you would not see following two general indications
and tell me feel safe to trade online. They get no proofs on any security for
online trading, can you trust them?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to check whether this web site would
encrypt transition data or not?
Thanks for any suggestions

1) Check the web page URL

Normally, when browsing the web, the URLs (web page addresses) begin with
the letters "http". However, over a secure connection the address displayed
should begin with "https" - note the "s" at the end.

Try it! - Visit our home page (http://www.ssl.com). Note the URL begins
with the "http" meaning this page is not secure. Click the link in the
upper-right hand corner to "Log in". Notice the change in the URL? It now
begins with "https", meaning the user name and password typed in will be
encrypted before sent to our server.

2) Check for the "Lock" icon

There is a de facto standard among web browsers to display a "lock" icon
somewhere in the window of the browser (NOT in the web page display area!)
For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays the lock icon in the
lower-right of the browser window:

Do you confirm whether the web site is secured or not?
When I login for this newsgroup, there is no two general indications of a
secured web page. Can someone collect my username and password by capturing
data through Internet?

Thank you

Sorry, but I'm not about to navigate to that page. If the page URL doesn't
begin with HTTPS, it's not a Secure webpage.

PS: The website itself was only registered in early March 2010.
