that probably means that you either signed in somewhere else (like in shcool maybe?) and didn't sign out, or left your screenname and password saved on another computer, and someone else signed in.

Yahoo! Messenger URL Handler Remote DoS

Hello kai85,

I have never used "YIM" before but I got some related news about it via my Google Alerts today and I remembered this thread.

Quote:
Yahoo! Messenger URL Handler Remote DoS

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the way Yahoo! Messenger processes arguments in their YMSGR: URL handler links. By crafting the links with certain characters after the first colon or after the third colon (after YMSGR:) attackers can create malformed packets to be sent to Yahoo!'s YMSG servers. When these packets are sent Yahoo! will immediately disconnect us from our current chat session... read more.

There appears to be a "fix" suggested towards the bottom of the article... I hope this is the issue you're facing.

Yahoo messenger sign in problem

I even can not sign in in yahoo messenger. It gives me error " you have been signed off becuase you sign in on a different computer or device". I have even tried by creating new id and tried to sign in and got the same error. I can sign in from other computer using the same login id. It is happening from last 1 week. Please help me.
