Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default comet.yahoo.com

We are getting a persistent message from our antivirus program (ESET NOD32)
whenever we have the yahoo site open.

We've been hitting the block button, but the message crops up within a second or two several times
over, thereby depriving us of our use of the internet.

I've done a search on comet.yahoo.com from which I've learned that it's a Yahoo sneak that monitors
our web usage and reports relevant data back to its fee paying advertisers.

My question is, should I allow or should I keep blocking?

Probably the correct answer would be to deep six Yahoo.

Here's what the NOD32 message says:

Encrypted network traffic
Untrusted certificate

An application ob this computer (logo Firefox) is trying to communicate over a channel encrypted
with an untrusted certificate.

It cannot be guaranteed that the contacted server (comet.yahoo.com) is the one it appears to
be. This could be an attempt to deceive you or intercept your communication.

Application: C:\Program Files (X86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe (PID 3100)

Company: Mozilla Corporation

Reputation:  Discovered 5 days ago

Certificate: comet.tahoo.com

Block this communication?
Block Allow

◦ Ask every time
◦ Remember action for this certificate
