re: no fix for "connection that is not secure" Friday, January 25, 2008 at 11:24 am Posted by Jerry (877 messages posted) Does it happen with FIREFOX or OPERA? [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: no fix for "connection that is not secure" Friday, January 25, 2008 at 11:29 am Posted by Robert Kidd (9 messages posted) Thanks for getting back to me. No, just IE. Sorry, I should have stated that. Actually, I started using FF because of this problem. It just won't go away. It is not a site related issue. It is Internet Explorer and this problem is well known for XP users, but I am using win 2K and can't find anyone else in the world who has this problem (so far anyway). I wonder if it might be because I use Office XP on my win 2k machines but it is supposed to be compatible with win 2k and I have been using it for years that way. BTW, this is happening on all three machines I have but all three have the same basic set up. On Friday, January 25, 2008 at 11:24 am, Jerry wrote: >Does it happen with FIREFOX or OPERA?

Before you do that, go back and recheck the 'warn if changing' in IE options. Post back and let us know. Jim [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: no fix for "connection that is not secure" Friday, January 25, 2008 at 5:16 pm Posted by Robert Kidd (9 messages posted) Thanks for you help Jim. I think I located the tool you were talking about at "Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Information/Tools/Windows/File Signature Verification Utility". After running this I get three files without signatures: oem0.inf 8/18/2004 None Not Signed N/A j2gjkm42.dll 7/14/2006 0.2.0.0 Not Signed N/A j2gjum42.dll 7/14/2006 0.2.0.0 Not Signed N/A I doubt they have anything to do with this problem. I have checked the "Internet Options/Advanced/Warn if changing between secure and not secure mode" once again and this is unchecked.

It may do the job. Jim [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: no fix for "connection that is not secure" Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 1:18 pm Posted by Robert Kidd (9 messages posted) No, that didn't work, Jim, but thanks for the help anyway. Doesn't anyone else have this problem with Win2K and IE 6?

One final thing Robert, then I'll have to admit defeat..... Do you have a firewall installed? if so, try turning it off for now and see what happens. They can really do strange things to a chap's brain. Be assured, that one of the other lads will respond soon, the weekends are a bit slow sometimes. Finally,finally, do a complete system scan, that never hurts. Best of luck. Jim [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: no fix for "connection that is not secure" Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 4:34 pm Posted by Robert Kidd (9 messages posted) No luck there either Jim. Still get the popup. A complete system scan for viruses (I assume that is what you mean) takes about 12 hours on this machine but I did one just last week and found nothing. No spyware, no, adware, no viruses. This problem has existed for many years so I am pretty sure it is not a virus of any kind.

Unfortunately, it only explains how Web site developers can code their sites to avoid this bug in IE. It doesn't give any info about how users can get rid of the bug.

No matter what I do I still get the warning message. I don't think this warning message has to do with whether the site is trusted or not. Even if I set a site as trusted, and even if this bug did not exist, I would still get the warning message if the "Warn when changing between secure and nonsecure sites" is checked.

I assume you mean run all repair items using the repair module but I have done this so many times i can count. I am afraid at this point I cm going to give up (again, for the past time) One of the machines this is happening on is a brand new installation. The problem does not exist until I install Office XP. That is the way it has been for several years now. I can find nothing on the net about this (except in relation to WinXP) and I am just going to have to use FireFox which is not a bad thing at all. But this bug still bugs me. :) On Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 4:29 pm, DEX wrote: >Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites > >Click Here > > > > >Then Back to sq.1 Robert > >Boot up with the win2k cd and run the repair items listed.. > >========== > > > > Are you a wood worker ?,if so Click Here > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: no fix for "connection that is not secure" Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 5:26 pm Posted by DEX (11819 messages posted) Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites Click Here Hey Doc it hurts when I do this ,and he would say don't do that.. :) Are you running win2k or XP,,,Office XP is for XP..
