My AV program is blocking a connection Firefox is trying to male called "79423.analytics.edgekey.net", because the certificate is expired. This looks like spyware to me. What is it?

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article;

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently.
If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
