Can anyone help me with a way to get rid of an annoying pop up that appears in the center of every ebay page. This is a new computer and we are in no way tech savvy so I don't know where to begin. It's a box with the heading Security Warning followed by text saying "the current web page is trying to open a site in your trusted sites list. Do you want to allow this?" Then below that is
Current site: signin.ebay.com
Trusted site: pn1.adserver.yahoo.com.
After that are Yes or No boxes. I have to click out of it on the red X in upper right corner for every single page I want to go to. It's miserable. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I wish I knew how to do that, but I don't. That's kind of the purpose of my asking for some guidance. If someone would be so kind to lead me I would be so grateful. Thanks again.

what browser are you using?
I dont deal with this stuff as much once I loaded firefox. internet explorer is only good if you like bugs and viruses.
Your not on the new computer right now are you?
(IE6 with XP? if so you really need to update IE to at least 7. There are too many flaws with IE6 to keep it. Scratch that, as mentioned above just go to FireFox instead.)
On the new computer, go to tools/internet options/security and try just setting this to the default setting and save the change.
Your mileage may vary, but a few other users have posted about this in other forums and said this worked.
