You shouldn't trust any website. Security has to be on the users side.
A secure HTTPS connection doesn't make a website or your information safe. If your browser is giving warnings about Tnet you need to investigate why that is. More than likely either your browser or your "antivirus" is dumb as a post and sets off alarms whenever it's confused - which is often.
Tnet uses a lot of trackers. I'm counting 17 on this page load alone. Most websites track you. There are ways to stop that but you will lose some of the functionality of the website if you do that. Tracking in and of itself is not a security issue but what those companies tracking you are doing should be of concern. Once again security is your problem - trusting a website not to bite is putting your faith in the internet.
I've checked out Tnet web extensively and it's relatively safe and benign compared to Google, Amazon or Facebook. Some of their tracking partners not so much. If I were you I would really question the security of your browser or antivirus - not Tnet. Most of the "security" offered from browsers and antivirus is a joke at best.
Just go surf. If you don't click on anything "free" or too good to be believable you are probably going to be fine. Tnet is not a boogie man. If you like to surf free porn, social media or creative mayhem websites you are putting yourself in the danger zone.

Treasurenet is HTTP:, not HTTPS: which is why you are getting the security warning, most likely because you have your security set to high. Since credit card info and banking info is not transmitted here members are safe.
So do you get the pop up ? Seen it ? I've got a screen shot if anybody wants to know what I'm
talking about . Like I said .... not worried about it , was just curious who else gets it . Quite frankly
I regret even asking the question at this juncture . I will mention that I just renewed my charter
membership and I know it's PayPal only , which provides some extra security on finance info but
just in case some others might not know ..... after you use the Tnet site link to make a payment via
PayPal be sure to go to the PayPal site and check to be sure your logged out of there after making the
payment . Just to be sure it's logged out when your through .
I have zero trouble on TNet. I was building and selling PC's in the 80's and have always been very aware of internet security. At one point I collected viruses in case I wanted vengeance on someone who p'd me off. I run heavy anti-virus security and also pop up blockers.
So I have zero trouble on TNet. And I'm also a Charter Member so I don't see their pop-ups here. $20 a year and more than worth it = most of all, supporting TNet!
sorry your OP was not clear, I have had popups with/from internet explorer stopping the page until I clicked.
I have also had ad's try to take over the page, I have had stackoverflows from having shockwave flash enabled.
most are related to security settings But the root is poorly written programing and rushed updates.
That would help to see a screenshot to see whats happening. some people just live with issues that could have an easy fix.
there is also a Tnet help section HELP!
I really liked it when I was a charter member, for some reason all the ad's are for Hot Asian dating sites.
Now hold up there Mr.Diggins , security on my end is fine thanks . I didn't ask for or need a tutorial on
basic internet security . I also didn't infer or imply that Tnet was a danger or a " Boogey Man " . I actually
ran it by a Mod in a passing PM quite awhile back just to see if they knew about it . They did but were not
sure what it was about . I didn't worry about it then and I'm not worried about it now . I just wondered if other
members get it too so I asked . That's all I asked .
The funny thing is , out of a few replies nobody bothered to answer the actual question .
Seemed pretty simple to me .
" Anybody else get the pop up flags on Tnet being an unsecured website " ?
Pretty much a yes or no was what I was wanting to know . No problem with commentary after the answer
either .... but yours is presumptive and a bit condescending given the question that was asked .
But hey ..... water off the duck man .

Sorry if I over informed you Takoda.
To answer your question more directly - No I don't get a popup of any kind on Tnet or any other website on any of my browsers or operating systems. That's one of the results of taking charge of security on the user side. If I were to remove my security I would get a pop up like you describe.
