There are no scripts or java at all that I know of. A simple background, a
couple pictures and some links to my most used sites on the web. That's
it. I do not get the message when I first open the page on my computer,
only after visting a few websites such as Yahoo, so I think that something
on those websites is perhaps triggering it, but once the Information Bar is
triggered it will continue to be triggered whenever I open my private
webpage until I close the browser and re-open it.
