    have you changed any settings in your browser from the default? I remember seeing these messages with the old IE 6 from certain websites but I do not recall them on IE8. Try using the "Restore Factory Settings" and see what happens. That should fix any option modification that you may have done or something that a virus caused as well.

    go to "Tools" then "Internet Options," when the menu comes up go to "Advanced" and click the bottom button that says "Reset" and then let it do it's thing and then restart IE and see what happens. BTW What sites have you noticed that did that other then your email if any?
