This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage."

It is because of your security settings in your browser when you are surfing a url beginning with https:// and the web designer/developer has linked to something within the design (usually an image) using http:// instead of https://.
You will either have to live with it or adjust your browser security.

Which portion of the security needs to be changed to what setting to fix this.
Thanks

What browser are you using?
I wouldn't advise turning it off.

Internet Explorer 8
All security is set to the default and then reduced level to medium from medium high.
Problem still exists, cannot get rid of the annoying popup!

That "annoying" pop-up is there for a reason; it's to alert you to a potential security issue.
Suppressing it is akin to disabling your smoke detector because it sound off when your cooking in the kitchen has produced smoke.

It does it on every single Google, Ask or Bing search as well as any direct addressing or back up. So annoying is a polite way of me saying something very crappy. Turning off the cause of this "annoying" popup is really the least of my problems. Could you tell me which security portion in IE8 needs to be changed to what in order to stop the popup?
Thanks
You get this message when you go to http://www.google.com/ in your browser?
First, try clearing your cache. If you still get the error message when you are on pages that you don't expect to contain secure content, such as google.com, it is possible your computer has been infected with malware.

If you want to turn it off, just go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom level > Miscellaneous > Display mixed content > Enable. That's it!
