You are not alone. Over the last week I, too, have received half a dozen offline messages solely containing “” at my yahoo instant messenger account. I recognize each of the screen names as being former contacts on YIM whom I have not communicated with in years AND whom currently are not on my “friends” list. One such former contact has “” me three times. Is anyone aware of a possible virus targeting YIM applications that feature the symptom I describe here? Would uninstalling and reinstalling YIM stop my receiving “” messages? Since I am obviously not the only one receiving or sending spontaneous “” to random people (whom may or may not even currently be included on one’s “friends” list, I doubt uninstalling & re-installing OR changing a password will remedy this problem.
SolomonMemberI had figured that there is nothing that can be done and I thank you both (patndoris and Ven0m) for your thoughts. Being a “simple” person, I tend to use things until they go caput – when support for version 6 ends, only then switch to version 7. (The YahooHelper option on version 6 doesn’t work, so it can’t be too much longer before the entire outfit is terminated.) I only use YIM to chat and don’t have any use for the voice and entertainment features that consume computer memory; I wish a bare-bones edition of YIM would remain available – YIM version 9 is 14.4 MB while version 6 is 4.5 MB – that’s a significant difference to those whom don’t care for hoops and whistles.
