How to identify source of prompts to allow scripting actions ?

From time to time I see IE dialogs pop up, requesting permission to run a
script. This corresponds with my security settings, but the prompts can
appear when I have no IE window open, which puts them out of context. I run
McAfee Security Center, so assume that is the source, but I cannot be sure.

It would be nice if IE included the URL of the site from which the script
originated (that's a feature request I'd put to MSFT). In the meantime, is
there any other way I can verify the source?
 
Hi David,
Seems to be a McAfee issue. What information do they have in their incident
logs?

Regards.
 
Thanks Rob.

I'd contacted McAfee about setting up my permissions so that Security Center
would run: it references some site outside the Local Intranet zone, but
Support could not tell me the domain so that I might add it to my Trusted
sites.

I wonder if we'll see more problems like this as more apps move to the web
services model?

As it stands, I can only hope the prompts are triggered by McAfee and not by
a trojan. Would certainly help to see more detail in the prompt dialog.

Cheers,

David
