    Yahoo Mail Certificate Error


    My yahoo program works ok except for email. When I click on the email icon, I get the following message:
    "The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different websites address."

    Then it gives me a choice to still retrieve my mail with a warning.

    Is this a problem at Yahoo's end or at mine. Is there something I should check?
    Internet Explorer is 32 bit while Windows 7 is 64 bit. Does this make a difference?

    I think I solved it. Under tools and the advanced tab, I scrolled down to Security to where it states:
    "Warn about certificate address mismatch".
    I unchecked it and now the certificate error does not appear.
    There is no evidence that my computer has been hacked or has a virus and this particular error is suspected of being no more then a false positive brought on by "Yahoo".
