This is prob the same geo IP most of you use, maxMind. Didnt come up in any browser except IE. Anyway around this, kinda messes things up if everyones geo IP is getting blocked and they see a warning.

What makes you think this is a Maxmind issue? What API are you using to access the maxmind db?

to be honest i have no idea what that means. but i figured if it happened to me it happens to others. and something like that would hurt conversions a lot.
 
Is the file hosted or on your computer? If it's a local file that's probably why your seeing that.
 
This won't happen if it's setup correctly. I'm not sure what's happening on your end but I know this doesn't happen for me.

I put this in the header: <script language="JavaScript" src="http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js"></script>

And this in the spot I want it to say the region: <script language="JavaScript">document.write(geoip_region());</script>
 
As in previewing it in the browser? Not loaded in my server?
Yes, that's correct. If you're launching an HTML file with that code from your computer, you might get that warning - however, once you test that file when it's loaded on your server, you won't get it. IE security settings always confuse me...
