Use the forums! Posted 08 May - PM There was a thread recently about this domain doing something to firefox users visiting youtube. Edited by rp88, 08 May - PM. Back on this site, for a while anyway, been so busy the last year. My systems:2 laptops, intel i3 processors, windows 8. Posted 08 May - PM Sillyberry, you're probably right as rain!
All I was indicating is: -- it [yimg or ytimg] simply dorked up some of my sessions with undeletable tabs within said sessions -- each unloadable youtube video became an undeletable tab in whatever session was open So, I simply rebuilt my sessions and "blacklisted" the y-thingy. Posted 09 May - PM I've been to youtube recently and haven't noticed anything to do with yimg.
If it had done something to me and installed itself in my browser I wouldn't know how to spot this anyway though. I did spot ytimg as a domain to let through or block in noscript, ytimg is a google domain which you have to allow temporarily when you want to play a youtube vid, it also somtimes contains images used on other google pages and services. Edited by rp88, 09 May - PM. Posted 09 May - PM Interesting. I have both yting. I don't recall why I whitelisted ying.
My friend has Windows 7. Suggestions, please. Or a link to reliable information that would help in addressing this problem. Thank you. What does he mean when he writes: "I don't allow Flash to store data"? Much of the information, such as this , sounds very complicated. Doesn't seem there is a "simple" solution.

Don't feel I should touch it. I read a system restore doesn't help and I'm not sure is she's willing or ready to do a reset. I'm wondering if this is related to Yahoo mail, which she uses.
I suggested she close her account, as I did, when the public first learned they were hacked a year or so ago don't remember the exact time. I've read a lot of the references shared in this thread, done other searches, yet remain in the dark about S. I will be looking at my friends laptop later this morning in the hopes to get rid of it! It seems this S.
I've been told that it significantly slows down her computer. Are you sure you spelled it correctly? There is a lot of information on the web about the S. Yes, I spelled it correctly. There are several variations of the name. If I understand correctly, they are all related to Yahoo. The y site would open only when she attempted unsuccessfully because of y to open her Yahoo mail.
She has W10, not 7 as I originally thought, She'll be closing her Yahoo mail account. Thanks again, CA. I've had numerous computer-related issues for the past five months and you always share helpful info!

I have Yahoo email. For a long time, my computer has been very slow right after logging into Yahoo email and my email will freezes up.
Now, with Firefox, when this happens, I will get a message box that tells me that there is a long running script and gives me the option to stop it, debug it or let it continue. It will also let me know who the script is from. Most times its s. I went on to google to find out what s. Also called a virus by some but others said it was a component built into Yahoo.
