I had the same problem. Obviously there had to be a problem with the security settings. My solution that worked was:
a)changed the administrator name (in Window xp system) to what it was when the
webpages worked perfect.
b) removed the Norton Internet Security and Anti-virus software, shut the computer down and after restart : re-installed Norton IS from installation CD.
then everything worked perfect again, no more annoying messages and all log-ins to secure sites worked.

If it's only one address, it could also be a problem with the site/server.
Open a DOS box and try the following commands:
ping URL of site
ping IP address of site
nslookup URL of site
nslookup IP address of site

Thanks Jimmy- I've been using Linux as my main OS for 4+ years now, so my brain just sort of thinks in command-line by default...

I know what you mean- it gets difficult to keep it all straight in your mind. I started my computer life in "DOS Land" (no Windows back in those days). I was down with all of the DOS commands and switches/options, but after years of also dealing with Linux systems, I often find myself trying to do something silly like "lsmod" or "ifconfig" from within a DOS window...

Good old Comm64 nothing beats Yellow/Black monitors and green/black monitors. Those were the good days anyway. Right on kuddech glad it kinda of worked out for you I guess your best bet would be security fourms because you got spyware.
