What does this mean?

When I load a page, on the bottom info bar, sometimes there is an eye with a red circle in front of it with a red line through lt. Obviously it means I can view something but what? It's there quite often even if the page loads. This is when I'm surfing the web BTW.

In Internet Explorer 8, this means there is a privacy report available. When my mouse is pointing to the "eye with red circle in front of it", there is a label that says "privacy report". What browser are you using?
