http://www.glocksoft.com/aatools.htm
(yes – I’m personally going to pay for my own version)
Featured is a very nice network monitor, which will show his/her IP
if/when the next annoying invite is made. Write down the IP.Also, run it through the route tracer & print this out.
On his/her end, there will be all manner of routers, etc.
for you to email to their abuse department …… might come home one day to no ISP

April 25, 2003 at 12:17 am #97147feufolletMemberMaybe you should try the free version of Yahoo! Tunnel (Y!Tunnel Basic). I think it contains the features that protect you against cam invites and other kind of flooding !

I have already done it :(..not only that i have added certain codes to filter.I do not accept pms from anyone who is not in my friends list,ignore chat invitations,closed sound alerts and lot more still i used to get those flood bombs:mad:.As last resort will try Y tunnel basic…..hope it works….thanks for u r suggestions.:)
April 25, 2003 at 11:19 pm #97149OreoMembernet….these people may have added YOU to their lists w/o permission….it happened to me & people were getting around my security measures. Try going to the site that was so kindly given to me on another post…the backdoors to site….it rocks & i believe it’s on the Yahoo! messenger BBB front page. Get the names of these people (w/the the help of Y!tunnel…..then find out if they have you on their lists…….you’ll be amazed @ how many people have you. just an idea if Y!Tunnel does not help enough.
