IE 7 security warning

t_jeffus · 10-07-2007, 08:02 AM

Hello
I am new to forums so please be patient with me.
My issue is with IE 7. Quite often when I try to go to a web site I get a 'Security Warning'.
You are about to view pages over a secure connection. Blah Blah Blah
At the bottom is a check box for 'In the future do not show this warning'.
See attached graphic.
No matter how many times I check the box it always comes back when I am changing from secure to unsecure and/or back.
I have tried to eliminate the warning using Tools, Internet Optoions, Advanced, Security The check box to do this is next to the last in the advanced list.
Why is this happening and how can I make it stop?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hello TJ and welcome to TSF

Please try this:

Open IE, click Tools => Internet options, click on the tab Advanced, then on Restore Advanced settings then click Aply => Ok

Thank you for your response. I did as you suggested, closed my browser and relaunched it, and still the warning returns.
Any other suggestions?

Hello again,

lets try this:

**Back up your registry before editing** (Click the green link)

Click Start => Run, type in regedit.

Click on:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER

SOFTWARE

Microsoft

Windows

CurrentVersion

Internet Settings

On the menu bar click Edit => New => DWORD value. Rename it to WarnOnHTTPSToHTTPRedirect.
Right click on WarnOnHTTPSToHTTPRedirect and click Modify, change the value to 0 and press Ok.

I really appreciate all of your efforts. I did the registry edit as you suggested and still the warning appears.
I guess I am doomed to deal with them forever.

Look in tools/IO/security/custom

If the above doesn't work have a look here:

Thank you for the help. Unfortunately it didn't help me. I tried all of the registry tweaks to no avail. I didn't contact Microsoft support because I refuse to pay for support for a problem that isn't my doing.
I have been through the gauntlet with MS support before.
I believe that my solution will be Mozilla Firefox.

I think Firefox is better than IE.

you could try a reinstallation:

Re-install Internet Explore 7

Please go Here (Click on the Blue link) and download a fresh version of Internet Explore 7.
Uninstall the version of IE you have installed now, to do so follow these steps:

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Double click Add or Remove Programs
Scroll down until you find Internet Explore
Then click Change/Remove, and follow the prompts.

** Please Note: If you are unable to see IE7 in Add or Remove Programs follow these steps:

Click Start
Click Run
Type or copy and paste, into the text box:

%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe

Then Press Enter **

Restart your computer.
Install the fresh version of Internet Explore.

Isn't this simply corrected but going to TOOLS - INTERENT OPTIONS - SECCURITY - CUSTOM LEVEL then scroll down until you see MISCELLANEOUS - ALLOW MIXED CONTENT and click on enable, then save and exit.
