'Only secure content is displayed' popping up

ROMARY — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 19:09:36 GMT

For the past couple or so days, this has been popping up only on QVC site: 'Only secure content is displayed'. ..... There is an option to click onto 'Show all content'. .......... Now, why would I want to see content that isn't secure? .....Doesn't make much sense (to me, anyway). I have to keep X-ing it out. But it is very annoying.

@ROMARY

I've had the same problem for the last 2 days. Every click I make on the forums, generates this same message constantly, I'm sick of it too and this haphazard website that I now have NO confidence in.

I removed my CC and will make NO further purchases here until they can fix this pathetic website.

@ROMARY I was getting that message yesterday when I logged in with Explorer (it didn't do it with Chrome). Then today when I logged in I got a message from my Trend Micro Office Scan that spyware had been removed from my computer just as I had logged in here. If I didn't have a really good anti-virus, I wouldn't even consider coming to this website anymore.

It's becoming worse today. I'll try the previous suggestion posted by a poster here. In the meanwhile, Just order everything by phone until they straighten it out. Tell the order operator, if possible, that you don't want your email address to be associated with your order. Well, that's all I can think of right now. Hope they straighten it out. Very annoying. This site only, so it isn't my computer.

This according to Microsoft regarding this message:

"This message is telling you that there may be both secure and non-secure content on the page. Secure and non-secure content, or mixed content, means that a webpage is trying to display elements using both secure (HTTPS/SSL) and non-secure (HTTP) web server connections. This often happens with online stores or financial sites that display images, banners, or scripts that are coming from a server that is not secured. The risk of displaying mixed content is that a non-secure webpage or script might be able to access information from the secure content."

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2625928/-only-secure-content-is-displayed-notification-in-i...

No way am I going to try to circumvent this message with the above 'solution' in post #4 to make the message go away, when it doesn't fix the problem that exists with displaying mixed content from a secure and a non-secure server.

There's a reason we are getting this message and QVC needs to FIX IT! We were not getting it before this site starting having so many problems lately.

Thank you. That worked for me.

The only "problem" it fixed was getting rid of the message that there's a problem, it didn't fix the actual problem.

See post #6 for what this message means.

Thanks, IG. I'm not going to allow "mixed" content, so I won't be using that solution. That would mean that I would allow both secure and non-secure content. (That solution does say something about Display mixed content.) (Right?) .......... Anyway, I started another thread over on Suggestions. I'm thinking/hoping that 'they' will read that thread more quickly than this one over here.

VERY BAD ADVICE.

Me too @ROMARY.

Getting rid of the message isn't the answer, getting rid of the problem is.

I hope you read @KingstonsMom's posts. You didn't fix the security problem.

You're exactly right @20sally ! Microsoft does NOT recommend this. It's not a fix for the problem.

Re: 'Only secure content is displayed' popping up

ROMARY — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 20:07:25 GMT

Thanks IG and everyone. I'm going to 'take off' for awhile. Too many pop-ups for me. Hopefully, I'll be back and find the problem solved. Actually, right this minute, there aren't any, so just maybe they solved the problem? I'll check back in a half hour or so. ........... Updated: No, it's still here.

Re: 'Only secure content is displayed' popping up

ROMARY — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 20:08:46 GMT

No, it's still popping up. Wishful thinking hasn't worked so far.

Re: 'Only secure content is displayed' popping up

Lesa — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 21:32:58 GMT

I put it back the way it was, and am going to use a different browser where I don't get that message.

I hope you read @KingstonsMom's posts. You didn't fix the security problem.

I understand that it didn't fix the problem. I'll keep checking and change it back when it's fixed. This is the only site that had the problem,and they don't have my personal info.

It turns it off for every site you visit and you won't know if problems are there.

Very bad idea.

@KingstonsMom

GREAT ADVICE!!! And before anyone considers that "quick solution" the link to that Microsoft Suport Page that IG provided also warns:

Changing this setting may make your computer vulnerable to viral, fraudulent or malicious attacks. Microsoft does not recommend that you attempt to change this setting. Modify this setting at your own risk.

I am not getting any pop-ups --- I am using Firefox as my browser and did a full scan along with my Anti-Virus Security Program, in addition I also ran a scan with MalwareBytes Anti-malware/Adware Program and I suggest if your getting that pop you do the same...

@circles

Just in case you didn't read the other posts here, all you did was get rid of the notification, not the problem.

If you did read the other posts and know that this action is not recommended, that all you're interested in is removing the warning, then of course that's up to you!
