Quick question.
I have a freind who has been being harrassed. It seems that there is a way for a person to over-ride the ignore function of yahoo and continuely send private messages. Could this mean that this persons pc is infected by some type of client, host program, or backdoor type thing? Also, if this could be possible, would anyone happen to know the name of such program? oh, by the way, the OS is winME and the yahoo version is 7.5 beta.
ThanX
EI’m not aware of any such program…and we actually do not promote any such thing here. You may want to have your friend remove him/herself from this person’s list using Deny-a-buddy or something of the sort. The person might then be able to be ignored, also, make sure your friend sets messenger to only allow messages from people on his/her messenger list. You also may want to scan the PC with any of the free online anti-virus programs like Bitdefender or AVG.
Even when put on ignore packets are still being sent to your computer, just the im/chat text isnt displayed its a fundamental flaw in the YMSG protocol.
To answer your question however, if you have put some one on ignoring and are still seeing that user’s IM’s you most likely have a full ignore list, if you go to your preferences then privacy tab, and try adding the name manually that way. It just might help
