today whenever i attempt to use internet i get an ie box which says

when you send information to the internet it might be possible for others to see that information.. do you want to continue?

I havnt seen this since i 1st got the computer & wonder where it came from & whether it is insidious? If not what is the best way to get rid of it

look forward to hearing from you

Probably comes from one of Microsofts security-updates which I don't have
'cos I don't get that message (though I used to before I did a re-install).
It is just making you aware of the possible risk --- nothing dodgy about. I've looked in all the options and can't find where you can disable it, but I can assure you it is part of IE and not something you should worry about. It hasn't been 'planted' to harm your PC!

You should be able to turn that off by going to Tools / Internet Options / Advanced / and clicking on the 2nd box from the bottom (Warn if changing between secure and nonsecure mode). Mine just started doing it, too. Must have been reinvoked by a recent critical update, but that option should turn it back off.

WyldStallyyn, I think that option you're referring to generates a different warning like "you are being directed from a secure to a non-secure page, do you wish to continue?" But I may be wrong on that.
