I've gone through solution one, but unfortunately no remedy to this persistant pop-up was obtained. I want to try number two but im not exactly sure how to go about determining the computers name, please help. Thank you.

FAT doesn't support data streams so moving the files to a flash drive should remove that pop-up. I tried it and it worked. Still doesn't stop it from continuing with new downloads. I tried burning something to a DVD and that TOO seemed to fix the problem. I right-clicked the files on the dvd and they did not have that blocked message. Thats good enough for me because I want to put files on a DVD and I didn't want them all to be "corrupted" with that warning. I wanted to find a way to remove that warning before burning to a dvd since on a dvd things are permanent kinda. So far it appears that putting the files on a dvd AUTOMATICALLY removes the "corruption" Turns out this may have to do with something called DATA STREAMS

When dragging files out of a zip folder I get a pop-up: "This page has an unspecified security flaw. Would you like to continue" JUST when DRAGGING zip files. Right clicking the files > Properties, show "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" I choosing UNBLOCK fixes the problem but JUST for that folder. I can't find help for this anywhere. This does NOTHING for me.

The pop-up will occur as long as there is a period or a dot in the name that comes after the double-backslash. Here is how to solve this. This method can also be used if you do not want to add computer names individually but would rather use computer name or IP ranges. 1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options. 2. On the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then click Sites. 3. Click Advanced, and then type: *://192.168.1.1-255.* in the Add this Web site to the zone box 4. Click Add, click OK, click OK, and then click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box. Note the format for IP-based name ranges *://192.168.1.1-255.* There is a star then a colon and then two forward slashes. 1 is the last octect of the starting IP adrdress in the range 255 is the last octet of the ending address. So, in my example above, I have added computers mapped from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.255 For domain name ranges that contain a period, use something like: *://*.domain.com Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303650 The solution of checking/unchecking the options in the Security–>Local Intranet–> Sites box or adding computer names in the Security–>Local Intranet–> Sites–>Advanced box does not work in the following cases:

For domain name ranges that contain a period, use something like: *://*.domain.com

SO annoying pressing yes or no gets rid of them in the end I tried the first solution, no good for me. second solution do you mean to say computer name sony? getting about 5 or 6 one after the other warnings on all websites including this one… SO annoying pressing yes or no gets rid of them in the end
