This is standard procedure and is nothing to worry about, with one exception that I ran into:<\/p>\n

I noticed the connection to ocsp.comodoca4.com<\/strong>\u00a0on one of my lab machines where I play around with some unwanted software. I noticed the connection to\u00a0ocsp.comodoca4.com\u00a0<\/strong>while doing a search at Google.com. Under normal circumstances, a visit to Google should not trigger a connection\u00a0ocsp.comodoca4.com.<\/strong>\u00a0Google’s certificate points\u00a0the\u00a0clients1.google.com<\/a>\u00a0OCSP server.<\/p>\n

The lab machine had the\u00a0SalePlus<\/a>, YouTubeAdBlocke<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0IStart 5.3.7 software running. Most likely, one of these inserted some HTML code into Google’s page that triggered the OCSP connection. After removing these three potentially unwanted programs, the connections to\u00a0ocsp.comodoca4.com<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>no longer appeared when searching at the Google search engine.<\/p>\n
