I keep getting the message of a malicious site blocked when using Firefox on a Yahoo group tab. Here's an example of the report I get. Always comes from the same site and IP address but different port no.

Blocked Website Details- Malicious Website: 1 , , Blocked, [-1], [-1],0.0.0

-Website Data- Category: Unspecified Domain: xa.yimg.com IP Address: 216.155.194.58 Port: [58262] Type: Outbound File: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Is this a legitimate site? If not, how do I get rid of it?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here:

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html Uninstall Flash Player | Windows

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version 28.0.0.161

This might be a stupid question but I don't see anything on the Adobe download site where I can select the plugin only. How do I not install the active version?

Definately not a stupid question  !

You don't need to worry about it - Adobe Flash will automatically install the version that your system requires.

The only stupid question . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . is the one you don't ask.

Use the links I posted to go to the flash download page.
