Is yahoo messenger safe to used?

And if I might add, one stupid thing to do is logging into your Yahoo account in an internet cafe and forgetting to log out. That's what happened to someone I know. Even if it's the end of the world and everybody is scrambling to get into safety, NEVER forget to log out especially if you have very private emails in your Yahoo account.

 

You can use a Yahoo! chat client like Miranda that is compatible with the OTR plugin, for strong encryption on your IM conversations.

 

yahoo messager is safe..

 

This happened to me one time but luckily, my account is safe.

 

you should keep changing your password regularly......especially if you are logging in from different systems..that will definitely help

 

Maybe you didn't noticed or you tend to click the remember my account log in.. it also happens to me. That was the disadvantage for using shared computer.

 

Lol I rarely click on Remember my account on Shared computers. infact I don't open mails on shared computers.

 

This is the right thing to do. You can also use an email forwarding so that emails will be sent to your other account, the not-so important one...

 

make sure your computer not infected with trojan, spyware, keylogger, etc.

 

I think yahoo is a well website for corresponding but its a very important to safely use.

 

I think yahoo is a well website for corresponding & attach with people its a safe to use & safe to log out.

 

You should have an anti-virus to prevent those.

 

hi, i want to tell you yahoo messenger is relay safe to use so please don,t be afraid.

 

yes. Yahoo messenger is safe. I've already use it for a long time.

 

If someone logged in your account is more likely you have a hackable password

I have never used Yahoo messenger though but Miranda, trouble-free messenger that supports Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, etc. etc.

 

Do not use the option of saving your password, if you are signing in from any different location other than your home. Dont keep on adding unknown friends, some might add you and send you a link which might have a virus.

 

I use yahoo messenger about 5 years now, no problem..i think it is safe if you use good antivirus program

 

it is safe

and don't share it with others if you don't want them to log in to yours
