Security Warning

I have installed all the Windows 7 security updates and now every time I go
to a financial website I get the following message every time I hit the
enter key.

'Security Warning
do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely
yes or no"

Like I enter userid and press enter and get the message, then I enter the
password and press enter and get the message. Getting damn tired of it.

Does anybody have this problem and how to get rid if the message? Maybe I
need to uninstall all the updates for the past couple of months and then
reinstall them one at a time?

Is there more to the message than that? Usually in the form of you click
near the bottom of the message and some more text opens up? Maybe an issue
with the security certificate or the like? With that info you can probably
get better assistance on the root cause.

It's a message from Internet Explorer.
I cribbed this from the Microsoft Answers forum:

1. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
2. Select the "Security" tab -> Click the "Custom Level" button
3. In the "Miscellaneous" section change "Display mixed content" to Enable.

Stupid Internet Explorer! I get that every time I log into Webex.
You'd think IE would give you a way to disable that warning, at least
when you when you revisit the same page, but if so I've been unable
to find it.

Thanks, Dave! I just finished chiming in with a "me too" to the OP,
because I get that when logging into Webex. Now I can get rid of it.

You'd think there would be a "don't show this message again" check
box right on the message, but nooooooo.

Or even a help icon, like '?' , or perhaps a tooltip to explain what all the settings do.

The site you are visiting is ignorant of secure content. They have both
secure (https) and non-secure (http) content mixed in the same page.
This can, for example, occur if some of the content comes from somewhere
other than that site; i.e., they're piping 3rd party content through
their web pages.

So do you really trust a site that claims to be secure but actually
contains insecure content? They're lying to you about their level of
security. Go to the following configuration for IE (it's a web browser
issue, not an issue with the OS):

Internet Options -> Security tab -> Internet zone -> Custom Level

Miscellaneous section
Option = Display mixed content

Choose what you want. The default is to prompt. This is to warn you
that a site claiming to be secure really is not. If you select Disable,
you won't get prompted anymore. If the page contains insecure content,
it gets blocked. So the page is made to be secure despite the boobs at
the site screwing it up. If you select Enable, you choose to let the
boobs spew any insecure content at you while lying to you that it is
secure.

Complain to the site that their so-called secure web pages are NOT
secure because they mixed in insecure content. They have a mix of
secure and insecure content. It is either secure or it isn't. Any
insecure content means the page is NOT secure. In the meantime, you'll
have to decide if you block the insecure content (and eliminate the
prompt), allow the insecure content (and eliminate the prompt), or stick
with the prompt to warn you the "secure" page is not secure.

Depending on what is specifically tripping it at www.webex.com you may be
able to simply add that site to your trusted or intranet site zone. Now
you're not lowering security for general sites but can custom tailor the
security for specific sites that you go to often AND trust.

The problem isn't sites that claim to be secure but rather sites that
do not claim to be secure but still have mixed content.
