Browser defaulting to https. How to get it back to http?

The laptop is bullying me again [:^(]

• My homepage is set to http://www.google.com
  
• Fire it up and it soon resets itself by inserting an 's', ie https://www.google.com

I'm sick of clicking dialogue windows to okay any screen loading in https so I've been in and out of Tools/Options/Security, Advanced etc to try to find the Stealthily-Hidden-Nasty-Microsoft-Bill-Gates-You're-A-Git switch to revert it to 'OEM' operation...

All to no avail.

I never asked it to do this.. so why has it done it?


Help! Thanks.

 

Do you have a google login? If you are logged in it will go to https.

 

Yes, and I've just logged out. I stayed initially, but has now gone.

Thanks!

A really irritating dialogue box mind when logged in and it comes up. How does anyone ever cope with this?

 

What dialogue box do you mean bud? When logged in.

Have you tried deleting cookies manually?

C:\Users\Chris??\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies

Or do you mean Google Instant is doing your head in?

I run this as a home page these days. Alot cleaner. It searches everywhere though, no priority to UK unfortunately, but still gets rid of 'instant', permanantly.

http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=en

 

Sorry for the delay, this is the box:



Since my browser defaults to Google (kinda useful and intentional), whenever I am logged into Google, every single damn webpage that loads gets slapped with this dialogue box before I can progress.

I cannot ever remember this. It's new. Can I remove it?

 

yes it's one on the internet security settings on IE, got mine sorted googling it

https supposed to be more secure...

Cheers both, that's fixed now.

Flipping tragic they issue sheit like this, and do it without using the English language.

I mean 'mixed content'. What exactly is that ever supposed to mean? No direct relation to any web browser, ever, since the dawn of time

 

Ah glad youve got it sorted matey.

It means the webpage contains both secure and non secure items. Could be related to newer windows updates whilst using IE8. Do you run IE8 or IE9?

 

why don't you just bin IE and use another browser?

 

@ Pluginz, IE8

@ ktuludays I have Firefox too, but don't use it all the time as I don't like all the functionality.

The dialogue box was a change I'd noticed recently. Couldn't put my finger on it, but it wasn't normal.

 

i get the bloody box come up on youtube only in the last couple of weeks and i have nt change anything . wants to take it out of the screen and burn it

 

Morning Dan. Are you running IE8 too?

 

+ has your computer done something without your say so? []

 

yeh to both .

 

ok i enabled that mixed thing all sorted now . thank god

 

Just looked the video fix. Is this fix compromising your security? Enabling non secure websites access? This could lead to some pop up ads. Just a thought.

You like IE8 Chris? You could install IE9 and use the compatibilty to view in IE8 mode with the added security, i think

 

Chrome for me now!, was an IE user for years and always went back but had far too many issues with ie8 bloatware..
