| Guest | Re: secure and non secure items message Hello, Sometimes although pages are encrypted, not all the forms on the pages are encrypted, and Internet Explorer just warns you about that so that you know. This is a good feature to have when you are shopping online and so on so that you can ensure that all forms on that particular page are encrypted. If you do want to stop this Open Internet Explorer > Press the Alt key so that the menu bar pop's up > Tools > Internet Options > Security Tab > Custom Level... > Scroll down to the Miscellaneous section > Where it says 'Display mixed content change the option to Enable and click OK > Click Ok. -- Hope this helps, Rishi email: rishi@vista-news.com | web: http://vista-news.com "tim" <tim@vistanews.group.window.internet.blah.com> wrote in message news:ehAGIVkyHHA.4800@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hi, > > I do not know why i am suddenly getting this message "This page conatins > both secure and nonsecure items.

| Guest | Re: secure and non secure items message To turn off the warning, on the Advanced tab of Internet Properties (IE > Tools > Internet Options), uncheck "Warn about certificate address mismatch", under the section labeled "Security" (Apply, OK).

That won't correct the problem the original poster was talking about, and it's bad security advice in general. If a certificate doesn't match the name of the web site, then it's the wrong certificate for the web site, and you should assume that your connection has been redirected to another site that may be malicious. Don't turn off the warning for that! The fix for the poster's original question is for the web-site designers to ensure that every included component on a secure page is served by a secure link. As an example of why this is a bad thing, consider a web form with a graphic at the top. If the form is delivered securely, but the graphic is not, the graphic could be manipulated inline by a "man in the middle" attacker to display instructions to the user - for instance, "Form not working - please submit financial details to bad.bad.man@example.com instead of using the form." The user will see that they have a secured form, and will presume that the graphic is reliable as coming from the vendor. Working around this at the client side is not a good security solution.
