You have done nothing wrong. That just means that you are switching to an "unsecure" link.

Some web sites are set up to be "secure". They use encryption, secure sockets, etc to let you safely transfer information like credit card numbers, bank account info, etc.

99% of web sites on the Internet are NOT secure like that. When you leave a secure site, you may getting that warning so that you know you are no longer on a secure site. That way you will not think you are secure and send credit card info, etc.

Does it mean that someone IS seeing what you send? No. It is just to leat you know that you are switching from a secure site back to a regular site.

Nothing to warn about.

Sounds like the popup you get when you send information over an unsecured connection. you will get this error everytime you send form data, name, phone number and so on over an unsecured connection. Do not ever put in your ss# bank account number, credit card information into a non secure site. Look at the top left of the address, it will have https:// instead of http this means secure and you can tell at the bottom, there will be a lock. Watch out who you give information too..

Thank you.

That comes up when I refresh but not normally, so I ignore it, since mostly it's not anything important I'm doing when I refresh. Not a problem.

Check that your firewall is up and running.
