Hi ronj20923859,

What do you mean "s.yimg.com seems to be always attached to flash player"?  Flash Player has nothing to do with s.yimg.com.  I Googled 's.yimg.com' and this is a bit confusing, as yimg.com is a Yahoo domain (see yimg.com WHOIS, DNS, & Domain Info - DomainTools) and appears to be the CDN (content delivery network) for Yahoo assets (see Is s.yimg a bad thing? • mozillaZine Forums).  However, I've also found other sites indicating s.yimg.com could be adware Remove s.yimg.com – How Do I Remove s.yimg.com Completely Off Your PC | Remove System Erors Tips.  As such, it's difficult to ascertain exactly what's going on with your system.  I would I err on the side of caution and run full adware/malware/virus scans on the system to ensure nothing is infected.
