you see this message because your users firewall is removing the browser headers or modifying the browser's headers.
one of the headers is the referrer, so they modify the headers so the firewall or the browser removes the true referrer.
for example, if you have firefox, enter the following in the address bar:
about:config
also,
agree to the prompt
then look for: network.http.sendRefererHeader
if you right click, you can change the value to zero and this will disable it.
