When I click on Thunderbird or a Network Application, I am Getting a Security Warning

If you are trying to open an application from the network such as Thunderbird and you are getting a security warning every time you launch the application, the problem occurs because of an update to Internet Explorer 7.0. This issue can be corrected by following the procedure below.

  • Open Internet Explorer
  • Click on Tools and choose Internet Options.
  • Click on the Security Tab
  • Click on the Local Intranet Icon
  • Click on Sites
  • UNCHECK the Automatically Detect intranet network and click OK / OK / OK.

That should take care of the error message.
