thanks for da help guys
June 6, 2003 at 2:06 pm #62501j_hop_99Memberno im tired of people saying ytunnel is the answere use java chat it works and it stops the booting plain and simple…log in in a browser pager and after u log in theres a down arrow on the top right of the screen make sure its on java and u wont be booted by those flooders
June 6, 2003 at 3:01 pm #62507JohnsonMemberWow, did not know that, who woulda ever thought of that, using java so people wouldn’t be able to boot ya? Dam this guy is good. He’s made up for all that talk about terrorists hacking into your ytunnel
June 6, 2003 at 3:56 pm #62492NettiMemberhey i hop, people have the right to use any program they want to. You can bash it all you want to, but YTUNNEL IS THE ANSWER!!!
They are not going to stop using it just because, in your opinion, it is unsafe. You know what.. sex is unsafe, people still do that too. Go figure!
June 6, 2003 at 5:20 pm #62506JohnsonMemberGood point Netti, imagine that, me and you agreeing on something, what’s the world coming to?
June 6, 2003 at 5:40 pm #62477netsavvyMemberHi lissa ….same thing happened to me a while back and i posted my problem …..the ans i got from Jeff is that this method of booting is called flooding….my screen was filled with uncountable cam req,conf req and file transfers …. i went on diff sites lookin for ans as ignoring that person didnt help me….he used to follow me and flood me when i was chattin in room or with friends….i did following things to stop it i dont how useful they will be for u but i am writing them down anyway go t u r messenger pref and do following

June 11, 2003 at 2:29 am #62510justcuzicanMemberHey Coolguy……What is Yahoo multipatch and what does it do for us?
June 11, 2003 at 3:46 am #62505JohnsonMemberIt sounds like it’s a booter program, all it does is someone you don’t like or w/e uses the program to boot them off of yahoo! messenger, it’s really childish if you ask me, theres a lot more creative ways to annoy someone them booting them. I will admit to d/l one a long time ago out of curiousity, and it turned out to be a virus that slowed down my computer, really not worth your trouble, the main thing about booters that annoy me is that they think they are big hackers or something. If you do happen to involve yourself with any kind of illicit programs keep in mind that this is one of the most common ways for hackers to infect people with trojans and/or viruses. I have known dozens and dozens of people who have been trojaned by d/l crackers boosters booters anything you can think of. Seen a lot of talk about firewalls here, and if someone does trojan you, they will just disable your firewall, so if you have a firewall and your icon for it ever disappears, someone might be in yur pc. If anyone you hardly know ever tries to send you an illicit program through yahoo messenger, the odds of it being infected are greater then 50%, trojaning got so bad that most of the people i know started making their own programs out of fear of being trojaned.

June 11, 2003 at 6:46 am #62504JohnsonMemberThis is actually humorous, cause i posted a site that was totally safe, and had some unmeritted complaints about it, and the whole time in the same thread, this same guy had posted and had his signature there, and no one ever said a word, i saw it the whole time, and never said anything, i was curious if anyone else would notice, and they never did, and whats even funnier is i went to the site, to see what it had on it, and if i knew em, and i got an error and aol closed on me, i’ve been on this pc for a year now and never had that same error. People are too busy focusing their attention on me to notice when anyone else does something wrong, just goes to back up a lot of the points i’ve already made.
