One way to get your account hacked is by going into the chat rooms in yahoo.
The best thing you can do is definetly invest in YTunnel !!!
It's about $20 BUT it will only allow people on your buddy list to IM you or PM you.
Hackers generally PM you when you are signed off of Yahoo messenger with boot codes. So if you have YTunnel ( go to YTunnel.com ) then they wont be able to send you this PM
One other thing you can do is find your filter1.txt file which is usually in your programs/yahoo/filter1.txt file.....just click on start and click search and then type in filter1.txt....it will find it for you. Then right click on it once you've found it and OPEN it. This acts as a filter and if anyone IM or PM's you with any of the words you have in your filter their message is blocked out. :wink:
I don't have time to give you the filter words to type in...here are a few...I will be back tomorrow with more......good luck....
