no offence to Andy or his YEmote which does work well I havent checked the fake idle to see if it works for Yahoo 6 but I wont use it.. simply why download a bulky program when all you wants is the fake idle, I haves a simple small vb script for 5.6 yahoo messenger which is 700 bytes as a posed to a few megs to andys file.. nah ill wait till someone figures out how to do the 6.0 version cause it certainly aint number 1 2 or 3 for registry

I cant help you in locating that person but can suggest something and its this are you sure that you manually typed this persons id in correctly ( if you havent got it in your friends list that is ) because that happens to me when I types in an incorrect id and it doesn’r exsist. The other thing is to check the profile and that will more than tell you if it doesnt exsist also.

The only other option you really haves well one im sure of the other im not someone may be able to tell you this, the one im sure of is to go back into the chat room you met this person and dont be stalky either ask around or wait to see if someone talks like that person. the other option that im not sure about is sending an email in that name..if it was added onto a parent id the parent id may get the mail like I say im not too sure on that. Maybe oreo or other mods may know about this.

sorry I cant be of more help

untamed I am on 1750 also and hasn’t had the problem happen to me however how about ruling this one out ie VB packets menu.. go to his site or shifters and download the current version 1.5 and install it. then try it again and if it happens again then that can be ruled out or if it doesnt happen then you know the dll you had wasnt working for the 1750 version.

http://www.cool-yahoo.com/

when there click on file and click on our programs and you will see the 1.5 version , come back if you are still having this problem.

if you are having persistant problems then why not update vb’s patch which is 1.4 version and you shouldn’t have that problem jaded..and onlyacomputer like oreo said it yahoo has had this problem on and off for a while where some users have had this problem and some users haven’t, however VB has rectified the problems Yahoo has done with that happening on the ( 1.4 patch ) and that should be sorted out…

Also please note he is bringing out a 1.5 patch during this week but the 1.4 patch is a must as it works and works well.

Theres an easier way go to google and type in yahoo pops and that will enable you to download your emails in yahoo to outlook or eudora or whatever your main mail program is and then from there you can save it in mail format onto disk much easier.

Wild heres this and im hoping im right here

In theory lets say your computers been compromised by a trojan and in doing so you are left with a few choices… depends on the severity of how you have been compromised you would do this as follows

1) Disable Windows Systems Restore to do that on XP click on this URL

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam

Follow the instructions as follows and keep that url safely add it to favorites

2) Once the Restore has been disbled then it would be in your best interest to download a spyware checker

The two bests ones are Ad-aware and Spybot I haves both because if one doesnt find a file you can usually guarantee the other one has

For Ad-Aware

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

For Spybot

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Once they have been downloaded… Ensure they are updated and run them… Follow the instructions ( oh by the way if you do find any files on Ad aware at the end Ensure all the boxes are checked/ticked so they will be deleted)

Now On Adaware it may say that We needs to reboot before we can delete the rest of the files… This Is why I have got You to disable Systems Restore because sometimes files are usually set in there… and with it disabled it makes it easier for Adaware to delete them instead of them being there time and time again.

3) When Done totally reboot… And Go back to Disable Systems Restore…and Enable it… And Create a New Restore point.. so if anything happens.. You haves a point with No files infected or will be returned to system restore ( thats the theory )

4) However Lets Just say that it is in Restore this infected file and cannot be removed You are now Left with 2 choices

5) One is to totally remove System Restore folder and then Reboot your Xp and then Reinstall the Systems Restore Folder.. this will Remove all the infected files that were in there , then create a new restore point ( Yes this does work as I done it with a hard drive on Win ME ) as to how you do it.. im currently at work and its a bit long winded and you are probably better of getting hold of me if thats your wish for that option

6) If You knows what the trojan ie its name then type that in google and you will more than likely find a program that will eradicate this trojan totally once and for all.

7) If All Else fails and You feels your system has been compromised then you may be better of thinking of a total reformat..

8) If thats Your option then I would suggest you save all Files and Folders that are relevant to you and burn it onto disk and then do a Clean reformat.. so when its done you will have a nice fresh version of Win XP and all you are left to do is Windows updates and install your sotware you use for the computer.

Hope that helps.
