anyone here use Yahoo and have this issue ??
i keep getting this pop up, and it is related to the ad's at the bottom of the main messenger window ( friend list )

the pop up shows this..

do you want to view the webpage content that was delivered securely? yes - no

the webpage contains content that will NOT be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection which could comprise the security of the entire webpage

this just started over the weekend.. it has become annoying..pops up every few minutes..
i am using FireFox.

it has something to do with internet explorer, just open IE and click into the options, then change the security options to default, and see if that helps, if not, there should be something that you can add to the trusted list in those options that would fix that issue. Other than that, Im not sure.

but i do not use EI at all.. only fire fox.. the ad's are generated in the messenger window where all your friends list is..
not even sure if i have IE on my laptop..
if i knew where in registry, i'd find a way to disable the ad's all together.

yea, it doesnt matter if you use IE or not, most messengers like skype, yahoo, etc use IE's internet settings as system wide settings for internet connection. As for the registry fix to disable the ads, open regedit and go to " HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\pager\Locale" and look for "Enable Messenger Ad", just change it from a 1 to a 0 and restart yahoo messenger, ads should dissappear then.

ok, cool. thanks for the info.. i'll let you know the results when i get home later on..

ok, i got things straightened out in IE, but the regedit did not work, but i found something that did..

now i just have a empty box that says..."navigation canceled" seems to work so far.

now if i could get my archives back that got missing long ago with a update.. i have current version, but there is no more archiveing... there is supposed to be a archiving in yahoo mail...but i do not have a yahoo mail account.. i only use messenger.

well it worked for a while, now the ads are back again..
i had this script posted in a file..

notepad %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and i added ( highlighted in red )
