malicious site blocked
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?

Weird a image CDN shouldn't raise any red flags unless it was a false flag make sure to check your Antivirus or something or exclude it in your security settings
Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0
Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0
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
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

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.
