If the browser is popping up the message, its the browser. If it was arriving slowly, or you got a message in a web page, its upstream.

Its you security settings in IE from the sound of the message.
Not ISP related.
Most likely the custom security settings.

I've tried everything I can think of with the settings, firewall and virus scanning software. No luck... Thats why I thought it could be the ISP...

yeah strange one. have u tried resetting to default level?

tools/internet options/security?


although that might just block even more stuff :boggle:

Firefox is the same as Netscape really, so I would imagine same results... I'm just wondering how these settings have been changed :lol: It's a mystery...

doesn't sound like ur ISP is up to anything then, u tried the firefox browser?

It only happens in IE, Netscape is fine, but I hate Netscape because it takes ages to load up...

have u tried using a different browser

does the warning message appear in a web page, or a pop up window etc...?

Impose restrictions on what files you can download in internet explorer. For some reason some restrictions have just started appearing on certain file extensions. I use a custom security level in internet explorer, I use the Windows firewall and I use F-Secure virus scanner. All has worked fine until recently. If I try dowloading anything, even images sometimes, A message appears saying my security settings do not allow me to download this... I am very confused.
