Hello all, hope you can help me with this. Got an e-mail from a friend from
her work computer as she is having this problem on her home machine. She
has 2 yahoo accounts and gets the same message on both, and is afraid to
download the cert for fear of a virus. below is a cut and paste of her e-mail.
This is on a Win98 system. can anyone tell me what this is and if she should
download the cert?
Thanks in advance for any and all help, have a good one, Redhorse.
her e-mail -
"This is what I see when I want to access yahoo mail: (Without accepting
their certificate it won’t allow me access to emails."
