Windows 10 asks for the Security Warning?

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

As you are opening favorites from the Internet Explorer it might warn you while accessing websites.

If they are known websites, you may add those links as a trusted site and you will not get the warning.

To do so follow these steps.

• Press Win + R key on the keyboard and type inetcpl.cpl
  and hit Enter.
• Click Security Tab and click Trusted Sites.
• Click Add and add the website that you trust.

Hope this information helps.
