Does anyone know what CIDGlobalLight is? [resolved]

I really enjoy this forum. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Thanks, everyone!

My question is, when I sign onto the internet, I always get a message from Comodo asking me if I want to allow the following: CIDGlobalLight. When I check on more information, it states it is a product of Calling ID Ltd. I always deny it, and everything seems to work just fine, but can anyone tell me what in the world this is? Is it something I should try to get rid of? And if so, how? I rn using AVG, AdAware, Spybot, Windows Defender, and Comodo. It is never recognized by any of the virus or adware programs. I’ve tried to find out what it is by searching on the internet, but not much is out there that clarifies it for me.

Can anybody explain what this is in clear, laymen’s terms?

Thanks!

That and another site are still reviewing, meaning they don’t know yet :o.

Thanks jasper2408,

I know exactly what it is now. That link was a big help. It’s an Add-on for Firefox, by the way. I knew you guys would come to the rescue and answer this for me. It’s been bugging me for a few weeks and I hadn’t been able to find anything conclusive on it.

What a great group!
