s.yimg.com virus?

Thank you for the suggestion. An additional problem is that I don't want to block all sites from storing information on my computer because of passwords set to work automatically to enter websites that I use routinely. If I block all sites from storing information, then my passwords used for convenience won't be allowed, or am I mistaken with this assumption?

Linc, your expertise is so appreciated. I've done exactly what you suggested after you explained it a little further and it's worked like a charm! What a relief this is now that I can access videos without this interference.

I've been with Yahoo since it started and it's seriously deteriorated to the detriment of users. From your information (thanks so much BTW), I'm positive now that I picked up this s.yimg.com there.

Earlier this year I wound up with problems from a phoney flash player via a lookalike that I accidentally clicked on in haste. What a headache! But Thomas Reed at thesafemac.com was a fantastic help and guided me to eliminate the problem. One of my routers had a universal password on it that left it wide open and I was lucky I only experienced one violation through it. Thomas advised to replace the universal password with my own and I was able to eliminate the pages left by the virus.

In summary, again thanks to you and Linc, it's good to know blocking storage of data by Flash apps does no harm and is preferable - since as I mentioned above, the other problem started via a flash player lookalike.
