Once again another problem with security alert windows. I am on a site that I
want to sign up as a distributor. Everything goes fine until I get to the
bottom of the Terms & Conditions Page. I go to the bottom, click on "I Agree"
and click submit. A security alert message comes up stating "You are about to
be redirected to a connection that is not secure. The information you are
sending to the current site might be retransmitted to a nonsecure site. Do
you wish to continue?" I click on "Yes". The alert box goes away for a split
second and then pops right back up. I keep clicking yes, it just will not go
away!! Is this a problem with the site, or my problem? Thanks to anyone for
help.

Sounds like a problem with their site. But the way to confirm is to try to
access that site from a different computer, or have someone do so for you on
their computer.

You can try disabling that message if you wish. I suspect the message is
just telling you what is happennig instead of causing the problem. Click on
Tools, Internet Options, Security, and uncheck "warn if changing between
secure and unsecure sites." Mine is unchecked. It's possible you might
need to close and re-open Internet Explorer for the change to take effect.

Thanks, Karl. It must be a problem with the site. I will have to check it out
on another computer to make sure. If it is still a problem, I will be sure to
post again!!
