Every time I move something to a different folder I get the following message:?

A box opens and says, (In a yellow box) "These files might be harmful to your computer." Then under that it says, (in a white box) "Your Internet security settings suggest that one or more files may be harmful. Do you want to use it anyway?"

I have gone over and over my security settings and cannot lower them any more than they all ready are. I get this warning every time I want to put a document or picture in the recycle bin! Every time I want to move things around to combine folders, I get this. It is SO annoying!!!!!!!!

How do I get rid of this box?

    Seems like you have a firewall or antivirus installed which is set to scan all files in real time. try changing from scanning all file to selected files only or default files only.

    Also see if that box gives you an option to remember this option with a check box or something then check that box and press continue anyway hope that will resolve your situation.
