Very strange SSL alert issue

I had a strange complaint from my website visitor that on every page he gets an SSL alert.


We are not using any SSL related URL on any of the pages. Still he is getting that alert.

I am confused why he is getting that alert.

I tried resetting my browser window and check my website. I did not get any alert even after that.
Client is not using any Proxy servers to browse, FYI.

Please visit www.allthewebsites.org and let me know whether you are getting this alert or not. Any information regarding this would be helpful.

I hit your main and 3-4 other pages using IE6 and win xp with normal security and med-high privacy settings. I received no such warning.

Te client's security or privacy settings may affect his expeience.

I'm not getting the warning either using Firefox and XP. It might just be the settings on the clients computer. I wouldn't think Analytics would cause the problem. Do you know if the client sees this on other sites?

The only place I'm seeing where SSL would come into play on your site is through the checkout. Is that where they're seeing the alert?

User has come back again and he has reported that he is still getting that alert on his laptop also.

I am at my wits end. How come this can happen to all his PCs ( 2 office systems and as well as his laptop)?

I even tried to reset all my settings in my PC and tried to browse. I did not get any alert.

I do know that this alert will be popped when IE is freshly installed or OS is freshly installed. But after few alerts, user has the option not to display this alert when the site gets transition from a http to https.
But my site does not have any https transition to make. I do not use SSL on my site.

Strangely sometimes the images on the home page does not get displayed at all, eventhough the images are in correct places. Images are displayed on the subsequent pages.

The client does not get any such alert on other http sites.

https sites he gets the alert. That is normal.

That is strange. I just did a little more digging and I am getting the same alert in IE, bit only on the home page. I tried to see if I could find what might be causing it to appear, but haven't had any luck. I don't get the alert on other http pages though so maybe a comparision to see what's different on the home page may show you what's causing the problem.
