Summary: "Secure and nonsecure" items is most often the result of bad web page design. As a user it's difficult to avoid without lowering your guard.

Can I get rid of the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" warning? |
Not that I'm aware of, and not that I would want to. Not being notified is in fact a security risk when visiting sites you don't already know and trust. For the sites you do trust, the message results from bad site design on their part.
Update
Thank you to a few readers who posted a solution to avoiding the warning:

Posted by: Ramakrishnan at February 4, 2010 11:30 AMIf the site that is giving you this message is a site you trust, then you can add the site to your trusted sites. Once it is added to the trusted sites, you can then make the recommended modification to your security settings, but do it for trusted sites instead of for the entire internet.
Just a suggestion that may help get rid of an annoyance, and keep you a bit safer while surfing.
