    What does the computer security question mean when it forwarns of displaying secure and non secure items?

    Question #68933. Asked by Allergic2Life. (Jul 28 06 12:02 AM)

    This is a client side message most likely caused by a reference in your HTML to a non-secured item.
    All references in the secure page need to point to "https://". The easiest way to accomplish this is to use relative links instead of absolute links. Commonly overlooked items include:
    Images
    Linked stylesheets
    Frames, iFrames
    Objects (such as Flash, Shockwave,...)
    Scripts
    Any of these HTML elements can trigger the warning message. If you are using resources from a third party, you may need to contact them for instructions on using their product on a secured web page.

    This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.

    Do you want to display the nonsecure items?

    If the "Display mixed content" setting is set to Enable, you cannot receive the preceding message and nonsecure content can be displayed. If the "Display mixed content" setting is set to Disable, you cannot receive the preceding message and nonsecure content cannot be displayed.

    Read this link about half way down on page:

    Anyway, it usually is nothing to be alarmed about and the link I provided walks you through changing settings.

    A long time ago, I would log in with a password similar to this one with no prompt, but now all of a sudden everytime I log in a small popup window comes up saying I might be transmitting information to an unsecure site, and asking if I care to proceed, so what happened, was my computer hacked, before it was secure and now it's not?
