When I log into Yahoo e-mail, there is a BLOCK put up by ESET Smart Security which says that Firefox is using an insecure connection as follows: (X86) Firefox.exePID3276 and I must block it and CANNOT access my e-mail. What is wrong??? It references *nexac.com and states that this was discovered 2 weeks ago. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP......

A quick online search identifies anything nexac related as being malware.

Suggestion: Download Malwarebytes free version and run a scan before you do anything else.

Alternatively, run a full system scan with ESET if Malwarebytes gives you any messages regarding software incompatibilities with ESET.

Hope that helps.
