    K, I think I figured it out...

    ... in Internet Options/Advanced/Security, uncheck 'Enable Enhanced Protected Mode', click Apply and OK, restart PC.

    ...Or

    Disable the Plug-in, open the link, checkmark 'Do not show me the warning for this programs again' and click 'Allow'

    Nope, I have it unchecked and have the problem so I went ahead and checked the box still had the problem then unchecked it (not only closing and reopening Internet Explorer but also rebooting between each evolution) and the problem still persists.

    I have the plug-in disabled and I never get the Internet security pop-up that you showed.
