Hello everyone, l've gotten two easy questions that l would appreciate your help with. The first question: Is there a way to "turn off" the security alert that says: ------------------- This page contains secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items? [Yes] [No] [More Info] ----------------- Here's a screen capture of the alert l'm talking about; http://www.tdtcoalition.net/test/help/SSL.jpg I want to shut the alert down, so that [yes] is automatically choosen... Is it possible, if so how? Second Question: For some *STRANGE* reason whenever l try to access some pages (even pages of my own website that l know exist) I get redirected to some kind of lycos search engine: http://search.lycos.com/default.asp?src=clear2&loc=top50&query=tdt+coal+it+ion Now ^that^ is truly annoying, how do l find and turn that function off? After poking around on the "lycos side search" FAQs list l found this: ---- How do I remove or uninstall Lycos Sidesearch? Answer To uninstall Sidesearch, please go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs. Highlight “Lycos Sidesearch” and click on “Change/Remove”. ---- However this mysterious "lycos side search" *isn't* on my add/remove programs list. Please help this is driving me bonkers, lol. Thank you for your time and your help, Samantha Fox

In IE go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab and scroll down to Security and uncheck the Use SSL2 & the Use SSL3 options and see if this works for the security alert. If not try unchecking any other security options you have checked in the Advanced section. M

Try this for the removal of 'Lycos Side Search': http://www.spysweeper.com/lycos-sidesearch-uninstall.html Alternatively type 'Remove Lycos Side search' into Google. Regards M

Just wondering, are you Samantha Fox, the singer? I remember that name somewhere.....I think she was a singer, a few years ago.

Unfortunetly this just disables the SSL all together, and prevents me from viewing the pages with both secure, and non-secure items. Not exactly what l want to do, I still want to use the web page(s), just bypass the annoying alert. If it's at all possible. <M wrote> >>Try this for the removal of 'Lycos Side >>Search': >>http://www.spysweeper.com/lycos->>sidesearch-uninstall.html >>Alternatively type 'Remove Lycos Side >>search' into Google. >>Regards >>M I've got the spy-sweeper program running now, and l can already see that it's found the "lycos sidesearch", hopefully it will be removed. Problem is that there are no traces of it. Like l said it's not on my add/remove programs list, and there's also no "lycos" folder in my c:/program files, folder. I will post back after the sweeper is done doing it's thing, and let you know if it took or not. <stu beef wrote> >>Just wondering, are you Samantha Fox, the >>singer?

But l'm just a chick with the same name. ;) Thanks to M for his help, l genuinely appreciate it! Samantha Fox
