Hi, I am interested in opening an account with Ally.ca and have visited their site but when I start the process I get a security warning from my browser saying "this page contains both secure and non secure items" Is anyone else encountering this warning? I am using a newer computer with XP and all up to date with anti spy/v1rus/patches. I dont get this warning on any other banking site.

I usually get that message any time one or more of the images on a web page (such as a logo) are linking to a different server housing a company's images. Same thing with emails that come into gmail.
You can always click "no" to the message so the the unsecure stuff won't get loaded on the Ally application landing page. I tried it and it didn't negatively affect the functionality of the page, so that is a workaround for the page so you can continue applying without loading anything unsecure.
Their IT area needs to find and fix whatever piece of the app landing page is pointing to something not on the secure server.

I emailed Ally and they said its an omission by windows update causing the security issue. Microsoft has some root certificate updates that were released but not as critical updates and were missed by many users. Ally suggests this link to update your system.
