Warning prompt......how do I get rid of it?

The following prompt pops up every time I open a new page.  For example: when I am using the UPS website to ship packages, each time I advance to a new page this comes up.  Very, very annoying.   Does not happen on my lap top which has Norton, and did not happen on this computer earlier in the year.  Not sure when or why it started.  If someone has a solution please let me know.  Is this something unrelated to Norton that has been unknowingly downloaded to my PC??

 

 

 

"Do you want to view only the web page content that was delivered securely?"

This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure  HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage.   Option to choose yes or no follows but no "do not show this again" option.

Thanks but I'm not a computer guy, would have no idea how to do this.  Any advice?

Hi jbird1,

 

I'm guess you are suing Internet Explorer as your browser.

 

Select Tools  Internet Options > Misc > Display mixed content > Enable

 

See if that helps.

Hi,

 

Click on the Time displayed at the bottom left corner of your screen and check whether the date set is correct.

 

If its a wrong date then please change it and check whether the issue is still reproducible.

The prompt is an IE warning to alert you that some areas of the webpage are encrypted, while other portions are not.  If you are entering personal information in a form on the site, this warning makes you aware that when you send that information it may or may not be encrypted and might be viewable by anyone.  Generally, on pages like this, the form is the encrypted part, but this is not necessarily so, and it is good to be warned about this mixed content before you assume your information will be safe.  You can, however, turn it off as yank explained.

 

You should only see this on pages with mixed content and most pages do not fall into that category.  If you are seeing it on every page something is wrong.

Yank - Sorry to butt in but are those instructions you mentioned something new in IE9?  I am using IE7 and IE8 and didn't see your "Misc > Display Mixed Content > Enable" message.  Again sorry for the intrusion..

Tools > Internet Options > Security tab > [Select a security zone such as Internet] > Custom Level button.  Scroll down to Miscellaneous settings and find Display Mixed Content.  "Prompt" gives you the alerts.  "Disable" blocks all unsecure content.  "Enable" displays mixed content with no warning that parts of the page are not secure - dangerous!::

No problem, you are not butting in.  Thanks for catching my error:

 

  • Going to Tools->Internet Options->Security
  • Select the ‘Security’ tab
  • Click the ‘Custom Level’ button
  • In the ‘Miscellaneous’ section change “Display mixed content” to Enable

I am sorry for messing this up, I left part of it opff and it shuold be the same in IE&7 8 and 9 - now that I procvided the ALL of the steps!

 

Thanks a Bazillion guys.  Feel like I'm getting my sanity back.  I reposted this today, did not know anyone had replied.  Thanks again and if you know how to get my Identity Safe feature to work I'd be even happier.
