Security warning - why am I seeing this now?

For the past week or so whenever I try to look at anything through Google I get a security warning box coming up. It says 'Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely? This webpage contains content that will not be delievred using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage'
I only notice it when Google page opens up and although there's a yes or no option I can just click on the 'x' to close the warning box.
I'm not aware of having changed anything recently so have no idea why I'm seeing this warning now. It's irritating having to keep coming out of it to look at anything. Can anyone explain why I might be getting it and how I can turn it off? There isn't an option to 'don't show me this message again'

That's default behaviour - Have you reset IE at all recently?

Ah I did upgrade to IE8 but then didn't use this PC for a while afterwards...that'll be it I guess. But would be nice to be able to disable it though looks like I'm not the only one irritated by it!0
