I've been getting this when I cruise various sites. Apparently, it doesn't care where I am, it just pops up.
I've been hitting the cancel thingie, but this just ain't right. I DO NOT do Face Book. Now, LIttle Sister ~ She's got a sock (don't ask) and she's checked in with said sock from this Mac. But still, she's had that sucker for a long time. This weirdness has only started up the past week.
Am I under attack? What can I do to make it stop? Insult to injurty ~ Face Book? I detest the whole concept. Sigh. Clueless in Texas.

I'm going to spitball and say it has something to do with the stinkin' Facebook "Like" button at the right of the menu bar -- since that's the only thing I can see that's Facebook-related on the page ...
Although I just read-up that page and didn't get the warning, so I'm guessing (again ;-) that's it's a cookie or something local on your machine? ...
Meh, I'll let Reboot sort it since he's the CSR on the forum ;-)
Anyways, I'm right there with ya regarding Facebook, sister -- Most of the time, in my (brief) experience, it's either totally jammed with inconsequential garbage, just plain creepy, or both ;-)
Welcome back, btw -- great to see (read) you again! =D
I return the salutations in kind, Six. Old habits, and older affections ~ Can't deny that stuff.
Yeah, the cookie thing might be the culprit. Actually I run Onyx monthly, and I'm due. I always blast out the cookie jar when I put it through its paces, so I'll go try that right now. I appreciate the heads up. I was tryin' to think about this waaaay to hard.

It's only loaded up with crap if you load it up by "liking" a bunch of crap.
Limit it to just friends who you actually know and don't click on stuff you have no interest in. Simple.

It means that Safari can't verify the security certificate from that site (or maybe someone is trying to spoof FB on the trivia page).

I hate to say it but that's what I did =) I think I just don't like it conceptually -- I'm not terribly interested in the mostly-banal everyday rantings of even my friends. There wasn't anything I couldn't find out about my friends by, you know, talking to them; and much, much more I really couldn't care less about. And I'll *never* make the mistake of trying to look up old high school/college peoples -- that got pretty creepy fairly rapidly ...

Anyways, yeah ...

Mine is all family and close friends. I filter out anything/everyone else.
Go to Safari Preferences, Security, Show Cookies. In the Cookies window you can search for facebook, delete all FB cookies. Also do a search using trivia, delete all of those cookies. Clear the cache and relaunch Safari.
You can also launch keychain access and do a search there for facebook or trivia items and delete those.
You'll have to type in your info to log in to the Trivias next time you want to play, and Little Sis will have to type in her stuff to log back into FB.
