You may need to make adjustments to your tools/internet options/ security and privacy settings.
Go to Tools/internet options/security/internet/custom level/Medium or Medium-High(depending on how safe you want to be)/ok/ok .
Then Tools/internet options/security/trusted sites/custom level/low or medium, depending on how much you trust the sites and how safe you want to be/ok/ok ,
Then go to trusted zone and uncheck the require https or secure authentication.
then to make a site a "Trusted site", Tools/internet options/security/trusted sites/sites/paste in the url in the box/add/ok/apply/ok.

You might also want to make it an "allowed" site: Go to tools/internet options/privacy/sites/paste the url in the box/allow/ok/apply/ok;
then to make it an "Exempted" site: tools/internet options/privacy/popup blocker/settings/paste in the url in the box/add/ok.

tools/ internet options/ security / trusted zone / sites/choose add site , (make sure the secure sites only box is not checked), and add the url/hit apply and restart IE .

You might also want to go to: tools/internet options/security/internet/custom level/run ActiveX controls and plugins/prompt or disable(depending on how safe you want to be)/ok/yes/apply/ok.
Tools/Internet Options/Security Tab/Custom Level.. button/Security Settings(Page) scroll down to/Microsoft VM/Java permissions/set to high safety

Answer 3

You do not want any software or download you do not approve of. Go to Yahoo.com and utilze the toolbar download for Pop-Up Blocker. Worked great for me for the past three years and it is free.
In addition contact your internet provider for additional protection from sypware, malware, and virus. Most provide some programs for free through your usage of their services. You can also go to CNET.com and click downloads for free programs to potect you system (AVG,AntiVir,SpyBot,Adaware, etc.) Good Luck.
