UPDATE: "Trusted Sites" security settings in Internet Explorer 7 as well!
Possible Culprit: "Trusted Sites" security settings in Internet Explorer 6
- Open Internet Explorer, then go to Tools, Internet Options.
- Find the Security Tab, then click on it.
- Select "Trusted Sites" and click on the Sites button.
- A new window will popup. Uncheck the "Require server verification (https:)" check box, then add at the top add, http://my.dominican.edu, click the add button and verify it adds to the list, then click OK.
- Once this is done click OK again to the general option page, and close and re-open IE.
- Then navigate to http://my.dominican.edu and in the bottom right of the IE window you should see the 'Internet' sign change to 'Trusted Site'. This indicates we've added it as a trusted side and your pc has lowered it's security settings.
Possible Culprit: McAfee Security Center
- Open the McAfee Security Center.
- Click on the Privacy Service to open its menu.
- Click on Configure Privacy Service Options.
- Click on the Allow List tab and add duc.blackboard.com as an allowed list.
- Click on Block Ads tab and be sure both boxes under this tab are NOT checked before clicking on "Apply" button.
- These boxes are:
- Block Ads on this computer.
- Block Pop Ups on this computer.
- Close McAfee Service Center.
