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
