    Hello everybody

    Couple of weeks ago I've noticed a strange thing with Yahoo messenger. Sometimes some users from my friends list give a buzz and send a strange test, and it looks like this:



    Does anybody know anything about this matter?

    Try this.

    The solution to the problem is simply allowing only the people you know to reach you. Sadly, its a feature that only Yahoo Messenger (for now anyway) has because the Yahoo network (well AIM and other networks also have this feature, but Yahoo's the only one that seems to suffering the fury of the spammers right now) allows anyone to communicate with everyone on the network. So once a spammer has your Yahoo address, this is pretty much your only option.

    How to ignore people you don't know in Yahoo Messenger

    1. Click on Messenger after you open Yahoo Messenger
    2. Click on Preferences
    3. Click on Ignore List in the left column (this is the Privacy tab if you're using Yahoo Messenger on a Mac)
    4. Then select the option 'Ignore Anyone who is not on my messaging list'
    5. Click OK
