Secure Website Padlock

Internet Explorer 6 and before placed and padlock in the lower right of the web browser to let you know that you are on a secure web connection.

In Internet Explorer 7 the padlock (for secure website connection) was moved from the lower right to a new location. Microsoft placed it between the Address Bar and the Refresh Button. This was done to make it more visible and easier to notice.

A visual sign that you are not on a secure web connection is missing the padlock the Address Bar and before the Refresh Button.
