Security Warning

I keep getting the following security warning every time I change screens I am signed on to Amazon: "The current web page is trying to open a site in your trusted sites list. Do you want to open?"

Current http://www.amazon.com
Trusted site res://ieframe.dll

It takes me three clicks on the "No" tab to close it. Anyone know what it is and how to stop it. I really don't want to open a site that I know nothing about.

I think this regards https. Have you listed Amazon as a trusted site? (Open IE -> Tools -> Internet -> Security). It's best to run in https if you're about to buy and pay over the internet. If you have Amazon listed you should permit it.

 

I added Amazon to the trusted sites and still get the error message. Clicked on "yes" to add site but nothing happened. Can't add the res://ieframe.dll to the trusted site list because it has to be an https site. What is a res & dll?

 

But do you want it? Are you sure you didn't block it purposely? Are you running SpywareBlaster, IESpyad or things like that? I didn't mean to suggest that you should add the popup it to trusted sites. I'm sorry if I gave that impression. I thought it was Amazons main site that wanted access.

 

WOT is a help in avoiding unwanted sites and damage from popups: http://majorgeeks.com/WOT_for_Internet_Explorer_d6047.html

This issue is a bit puzzling. Amazon can't afford to run a dirty site. Consumer confidence is everything for a site like theirs.

 

I have been using amazon for years and this has never happened. I still get that error message everytime I change screens on amazon. I added amazon to the trusted sites. I downloaded WOT. I ran the SuprAntiSypware that I downloaded from Geeks. I still have to click "no" three times to get it off the screen. I even tried clicking "yes" to get rid of it. The only thing that has changed, is that I downloaded IE8.

 

Do you get any text about DNS? Also an article here.

 

No text about DNS? Tried reloading IE8. still get error message

 

There's another article here. Are you running XP Home without service pack 3? That is a really bad idea, frankly.

Nope, I have XP Home with SP 3. I googled res://ieframe.dll
and found some sites that say they can remove/resolve the res: problem, but another site states that they are unsafe... Got a BIG gun by chance?

 

:heli Don't shoot the poor PC. :-D It needs help, - not punishment...

 

Tell you what - try to run IE without extensions/ad-ons/whatever. Right click on the IE icon and select that option. Go to Amazon's again. Still happening?

 

Tried IE without extensions/ad-ons...Yep, still happening. Should I try to go back to IE7?

 

And there's nothing after that? Like

res://ieframe.dll/blablabla

There's an answer here. See if it fit's your problem: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090314174416AANI1ea

Did you ever have Norton or McAfee on that PC?

 

Google res://ieframe.dll and Amazon. It's fairly well known it seems. It's not you - it's Amazon. They must have coding errors on their site.
