Remove scripts at bottom of page added by Yahoo?

Question

I'm using Yahoo Small Business to host my website. I use an FTP client (FileZila) to upload my files. However at the end of every page is these few lines:

</html>
<!-- text below generated by server. PLEASE REMOVE -->
<!-- Counter/Statistics data collection code -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://us.js2.yimg.com/us.js.yimg.com/lib/smb/js/hosting/cp/js_source/whv2_001.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
<script language="javascript">geovisit();</script>
<noscript>
    <img src="http://visit.webhosting.yahoo.com/visit.gif?us1264993801" alt="setstats" border="0" width="1" height="1">
</noscript>

Everytime I remove it, it comes back. The comment says to remove it. Why the heck can't I remove this. As a side not this is the only thing keeping my site from validating as valid HTML 5.

Answer 1

My guess is, it is generated by Yahoo's SB engine for tracking purposes. If you were to download the file and edit, the comment stated that you remove those lines so that Yahoo engine will add it again upon upload.

PS: I really don't think Yahoo Small Business cares about HTML5 validation.
