Paypal Standard showing unsecured

This just started and I can not find the cause.

We have Paypal standard set up on a customers site. We do not have an SSL certificate and since we are only using Paypal standard we do not need one. I have SSL turned off in Joomla as well as in Virtuemart. I am using 1.1.3.

All of a sudden, when a customer is redirected to Paypal from Virtuemart it shows as unsecure because it is redirecting to https://paypal.  I tried removing all references to HTTPS in the "Payment Extra Info" box for paypal.  My SECUREURL is http://

Where is this secure URL coming from. I have checked my VM config file as well as my Joomla config file and I do not have https anywhere.

Help

Since the secure warning is on a paypal site, it is nothing to configrued in VM. The problem is probably caused by the store logo showing in the paypal page.
Try looking at the paypal admin site and see you can change that logo url to http.

Can someone please tell me where I can change which logo is being displayed when a customer checks out with Paypal. The URL for the logo shows to be coming from the Virtumart folder. I want to change it to a graphic not on my customers website. I need help please. This is affecting business. It is not in Paypal.

A second thought on your scenario. Since your site cannot be accessed by https and paypal has to use https, there is only 2 ways to fix your problems:
1. Remove your site logo from paypal.
2. Revert to https for your site.

Those were the same two conclusions I had as well. The problem with removing the logo from paypal is that I can not find anywhere in paypal where we have used it. I have searched their forum and their help doc and no where does it talk about a customers logo. 

My customer has purchase SSL so we should be able to resolve the issue that way! Thanks for your help

The cpp_header_image should be the paramter to change. This parameter can be changed in the vm paypal configuration, extra info.
For a specific site, you can hard code the image link with https.
