Just wanted to say apparently many people has this “invalid password” problem when u log in. so do i matteraffact n it pisses me off bad. i tried everything and so..but now i read a lil wots goin on in here so im kinda calm now. also..there is programs for this cuz i kno a few people who make them.usualy if ur accoutn is locked by a hacker it can be for like 24-48 hours or there is a perm lock. but this with the logout from chat thing well yeh its as it says futher back in this forum :p…..also bewear of spywere thats put on ur computer so im posting a hot notice for all users to be aware of a password stealer that is going around. If you get an exe (a program) from anyone or off any site that does not open but gives you and error message. Or if you see an strange JPG file..if u ave clicked on this file
Exit and Sign off yahoo messenger then go to sign back in but pay attention to the password text box before you click on sign in. Do not sign in if your password shows up as asterisks. If you are using window xp with the new version of yahoo messenger and your password looks like this ******* then you have been infected. /erikOctober 12, 2003 at 3:00 pm #89444OreoMemberThat’s really interesting info Erik. Welcome to the forum….I’m just a regular user like you…but we all help each other out here. Why didn’t you post this under the other thread about the disconnection? People may not look at your post b/c they won’t know what it’s about. Do you have any idea what that spyware is called? Does Adaware find it and remove it? I’d be interested to about ways to protect myself from it. Thanks for making us aware of this!
