Internet Explorer Pop-Up: This Page is Accessing Information That is Not Under Its Control...

Windows 7 32-bit, w/IE 10

Some of our users are getting a pop-up in IE that says: "This Page is Accessing Information That is Not Under Its Control..." - They can click "OK" to close the window, but then it can come back a few seconds later.

It comes up very frequently and just started happening about 3 weeks ago. It comes up on various sites. I assume a Windows update caused this, as we have made no other changes. Any ideas how to combat this? Anyone else seen this lately?

I tried upgrading one user to IE11, with no effect. I tried resetting security settings in IE as well as toggling other settings...no effect. Also did the usual deletion of temp Internet files, etc..

Thanks.

Download, install and run Process Explorer from Microsoft.

Look under the Explorer tree. Are there any strange (alphanumeric) processes running?  If so, kill them, exit Process Explorer, do NOT restart. Run Malwarebytes to remove the malware, then restart and test.

No malware. No viruses.

On user, I did a full reimage and cleaned profile. Users are not admins. Still get the pop up.
Try a new, test Windows User Profile (Account). Log into the new Account. Do you still get pop ups?
Yes, I already have tried that...clean image, clean profile.
There is something in your environment that I don't know about here:  Firewall, content filter, proxy - something like that. Also look at the brand of A/V you are using. It may be set to pop up on certain activities.

A clean install of Windows 7 does not "pop-up" as you describe, so it is external to the computer. Look at the things above.

This solution was partially correct. I had to set the "access data sources across domains" to "Enable." The mixed content message also helped.
