Ok, here is another tip to help stop annoying pop-ups.  When you access a secure website, it normally shows a lock or key to let you know it is secure.  However, sometimes when you exit these pages it displays the following error message.

This occurs when some of the data being displayed is not directly on the secured site, i.e. an image that is hosted somewhere else.  While it is nice to know when you have left a secure site, these pop-ups can get bothersome.  Especially if you visit certain webpages frequently.

Its a bit of a security risk, since you won’t be notified when you switch from secure to nonsecure pages, but if you’d like to stop this warning, follow the instructions below.

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click Tools
3. Click Internet Options
4. Select the Security Tab
5. Click the Custom Level button
6. Find the Miscellaneous Section (About half way down)
7. Click Diable under Display Mixed Content
8. Click OK
9. Click OK
10. Close Internet Explorer and Restart It
