Hello,

I am getting this certificate warning on my macbook pro using Safari 5.1.7 and Mac OS X 10.7.4.

It just seemed to start doing this within the last 2 days and in this particular case it was while i was visiting forbes.com. I do not even access Facebook or have an account. Any ideas on how to correct this annoyance?

Thanks

*.static.ak.fbcdn.net servers are actually Facebook servers. They are responsible for providing static content site (photos, videos, pictures, etc.) as well as information in real time like chat services or notifications.

Something as simple a putting the Facebook Logo on the Forbes.com web site could trigger a read from this site.

That's what I was thinking and as many companies are now adding Facebook and twitter links to their web sites will we just have to put up with those messages? Anyway to keep it from happening?
