Booters and hackers on yahoo

Hi Can someone in the forum please please help me, there are two users that I know of who are consistently booting me from yahoo chat and it has got so bad now that I have been sent virus's on my computer while I have been in chat there, I had an anti boot program that worked for a little while until one of the hackers sent me a virus now it doesnt work so i took it off my system I have now thanks to Major Geeks down loaded some anti virus programs but I still need an anti boot system for chat and also maybe away to boot these perpatraiters b4 they boot me? please if you can help me Id really appreciate it, a couple of times getting booted was oh well what ever, sad bastards but now its beyound a joke and I dont want to be without a computer i saved up hard for and I also dont feel why I should be harrassed like this when I am a person that keeps himself to himself, if i had been abusive or something Id deserve this treatment but I swear I havnt, please please someone help me.

 

Well first off fight "fire" with "fire" isnt what we call HELP here. 2ndly if your being foolish enough to open emails and or links that infect your computer with trojans/virus that is seriously YOUR fault be it wrong or right. Im sure your not the only victem in this story. Best off stay out of Yahoo chats and find somthing more significan't like...aol or somthing

btw wrong thread section.

 

download a freeware firewall; remove trojans off your pc; download a better freeware antivirus; etc... im telling you that your not gonna get 'that' type of help around here regardless.

 

probably best off changing your username and get a new account

 

i misread and took it she was using yahoo instant messanger.

 

I would study up on yahoo's chat program. If there is a security flaw in it that allows someone to gain control over your computer in someway, HIGHLY DOUBTFUL, then That flaw will be posted around all over the internet. I recommend google. Second, most likely, if there isnt a flaw like this where they are either able to exe files remotely through your yahoo chat, then you ARE clicking on something. Please swallow the pride, and accept this. If you click a web link, you could easily be going to a site that has a java script/trojan type site. I would recommend you also adjust your internet security features and disable jscript or java script. While this can be GREAT, currently, its being used maliciously. VX2 and others. Ive experienced spyware to great ends, and it usually takes me about 30 minutes to fully remove it. Going through registry, and deleting the dll's or other files that may be installed, which usually requires me to be in dos ;(... Anyways, You are clicking something to get them.

But back on topic, I havent used yahoos chat personally, but there may be some security flaws or buffer exploits in it. I Would do research and definitely update to the latest version. That will sometimes make everything better.

 

It sound's like this person want's to find a way to boot people from chatroom's and game room's on yahoo.If not then why did they ask how to do so?I see this all the time at antionline-someone makes up a sob story about something bad heppened to my pc ,oh and i need a way to hack their box when i find out who did it,plz help...bla..bla..
If not then i'm sorry if i sound mean,but you can report abuse.Look in the room for the report abuse tab or contact support@yahoo.com
peace

hello i am really new, here and was researching about booting in yahoo chat rooms, honestly is it really possible, thats just what i want to know how although no intension to use it just curious how it could be done i mean all users being equeal how can someone boot someone out, and also can you really find the ip of a user who you are chatting directly with with netstat?
thanks hope you dont find my questions so funny just curious as to how they do it, cause i was thinking it was impossible maybe except for the room administrator though. thanks

 

If both parties are using Yahoo! Messenger, then it is possible, since sometimes, Messenger will establish a direct connection between the clients. As far as I remember, for this to happen, though, both users need to be on each other's Buddy List.

As far as I know, Messenger is the only Yahoo! client to do this.

 

Why doesn't everyone just forget about booting a person in Yahoo chat and just fine the lady a program so no one will boot her. And there are ways around Y tunnel,you still can be booted with it. I know there are Anti Boot programs out there,just which ones are safe to use.
I use Yahoo messenger alot,the guys use to get booted but now all the ladys get booted. Me thinks if they dont get or hear what they want,,,they boot the lady,which is not right at all,,,,,,,,Chat use to be fun before the booting and Yahoo knows all about it and doesnt even try to stop it.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

 

And I never had a Boot Program or ever will,,,,,,let them boot me.....
Just Venting here.......

 

hello

 

AS fas as malware being loaded, Norton Anti-Virus 2005 includes IM protection for MS, Yahoo and AIM.
I use GAIM or Trillian free for the simple fact that not all my friends have the same service and there does not seem to be widely available hacks for them.

 

Ok, this is becoming stupid.

This person would not be well off to go and download virus infested script kiddie programs to protect themselves.

My suggestions: get a decent firewall, get a decent AV, make sure they're up to date. Make sure Yahoo messenger is up to date (i assume you're using that to chat).

If you keep getting booted from a particular channel, then don't go to it any more. Or report to the owner of that channel who is doing the booting, and they can get banned.
