I tryed to get on the internet and a window popped up and said this...You have attempted to establish a connection with "rmd.atdmt.com". However , the security certificate presented belongs to "a248.e.akamai.net". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone maybe trying to intercept your communication with this website. If you suspect the certificate shown does not belong to "rmd.atdmt.com", please cancel the connection and notify the site administrator. all i did was go online to my homepage which is a verizon homepage. this happened to 2 of my computers at the sametime.

Well I have been having the same issue of redirection to a248.e.akamai.net however I nuked my hard drive and it still happened. Then I updated the time on my computer to the right time last night and it stopped go figure. Well I am at work now on another computer that I have not used before and the akamai certificate warning popped up again. It said it is used to verify a remote computer humm? Well before I changed the time on my computer the akamai certificate would not let me log into my email because I refused to click yes. Just now I was already in my mail box, I clicked a link and the akamai box popped up so I clicked no and continued what I was doing. I will tell you all right now I am in law enforcement and this is weird. I hope there is a rationale answer but I don't see how given what I just told you.

This is not a hacker. What is happening is this. Your verizon homepage has some element that is calling the atdmt.com website. Usually that is an ad or other such thing. What the message is telling you is that the page attempted to make an encrypted connection to the atdmt.com site but when it examined the security certificate it found a discrepancy. It is warning you that the security certificate that certifies that the connection is secure had a problem and to not trust it. The problem lies on the other end, (the site's end) and there is nothing you can really do but wait until they fix it. You can usually safely ignore these type of errors unless you are actually doing something you want to have a secure connection on like banking, stocks, email, etc.

a248.e.akamai.net is a web server provider that many legit suppliers use (such as Antivirus updates from McAfee and others) use to host the updates on. As far as I can tell, rmd.atdmt.com is related to some sort of ad server.

Probably not. The two hackers I met in high school would have better things to do than hack an ordinary person's computer. Even though they're sophomores.

I am getting the same thing. Look at the other information about it by doing a web search. It seems to have something to do with the browser. ( Look it up on gooooogle )
Search : rmd.atdmt.com

It sounds like one, though I'm not a computer genius or anything so it could be something else. I would definitely ask an expert on this one to be safe.

i just got the same thing on my yahoo email,
it doesn't seem too nefarious.
thats got to suck for that company,
whatever they're trying to sell.
they're probably trying the "deep scan" for cookies.
i think its an advertisement.
a really bad one is the "drive cleaner" antivirus popup.
those guys need to be strung up from their nuts!
i've been watching sopranos.

It is a virus. It is trying to download from a remote site set in your regedit. Run a virus scan.

This would be your tracking cookies trying to send info back home. If you don't mind tracking cookies, it's not a problem. Personally, I hate tracking cookies.
