Somewhat. I have the latest browser (IE5.5/sp1), so I'm not getting the
upgrade message. I did, however, have my security level on "custom." When I
switched to medium, the message stopped. I've discovered that this page is
writing a file to my c:\temp directory called "datxx.tmp" (where xx is a
number). This is what was causing the pop-up because my customized settings
didn't allow it. 

Anyone know why this page would be writing a 1k file to my temp directory?
The file contains only one non-ASCII character.
