Most of the content of the forum pages comes from https://sourceforge.net . There are some images (e.g. country flags) that are linked from http://shareaza.sourgeforge.net . As there is (currently) no server answering for https requests at shareaza.sourceforge.net, this will continue to be an issue for a while.

The fix is to move the images to a location that can be reached by https. However, in the grand scheme of things, this may be a low-priority item for the admins. I am not a Shareaza Admin, so take this with a grain of salt.

An easy workaround: get Firefox. It's much better than IE anyway. Then install NoScript and disable JavaScript for sourceforge.net. If necessary, you can still enable it very easily.

It's just a personbal choice but I'd rather keep such security warnings enabled, they may be useful for important sites. Sure, your bank is unlikely to compromise your security by mixing hostile unencrypted data, but anyway...

<shameless ad>Again, a personal choice, but I'd definitely recommend Firefox over IE8. You get a much better product than the piece of crap bundled by default to Windows for the same price (free). It's simply better, it doesn't mess up with your computer - if you don't like it it unistalls gracefully - and as a bonus there are tons of extensions you won't be able to live without once you get used to them. FlashBlock alone justifies the switch IMHO. Last but not least, Firefox respects the standards: the more people use it, the better for the free/open source Theora codec with the new HTML5 and its <video> tag.</shameless ad>
