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".
