How to Suppress Security Risk Notices Occuring during HTTPWebRequests

When I send HTTPWebRequests to certain web sites I get a popup message stating that there us an upspecified Security Risk associated with the site and do I want to continue. The message does not occur until after the HTTPWebRequest has been retrived and stored as a string (ResponseAsString in the code below). The HTTPWebrequest retrieves the text of a webpage which is subsequently converted into an IHTMLDocument2 with the code that follows. The warning occurs on the command -- oDoc.close(); A try-catch block does not yield show an error. Is there any way to suppress this message?

//Creates IHTMLDocument2 frow WebRequest!
private IHTMLDocument2 GetIHTMLDoc2FromString(string ResponseAsString) 
{
   HTMLDocument ProfileHTML = new HTMLDocument(); 
   IHTMLDocument2 oDoc = (IHTMLDocument2)ProfileHTML; 
   oDoc.write(ResponseAsString);
   oDoc.close();
   return oDoc; 
}

use this code

 public static bool IgnoreInvalidSSL { get; set; }
    private static bool ValidateRemoteCertificate(object sender, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors policyErrors)
    {
        if (IgnoreInvalidSSL)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return policyErrors == SslPolicyErrors.None;
        }
    }

Then on your httprequest use

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateRemoteCertificate);
