It is not the OS which is the cos for this problem but i think its the friends circle.. ppl use keyloggers or use Asterik crackers to retrive saved passwords... i strictly believe that craking password is very difficult unless and until the above mention ways... dont save passwords / delete cookies.. never allow anyonelse to use ur comp.

This simply is not the case. Both Yahoo and Hotmail have security in place specifically designed to stop this kind of attack. Yahoo requires that you enter a random code into an additional field provided as well as the UN and PW after 16 failed login attempts. Failure to enter the correct code will result in a failure to log into the account, even if the Username and Passwrods are correct. Hotmail has a different security feature which sends the user to a "lockout" page, which has NO field to enter the Username or Passwords after just one failed attempt.\nWhile there are programs that claim to be able to hack hotmail, yahoo or egold, all they really seem to be are specialized keyloggers and trojans that send the info from a targets computer. The question is then, if you can get a target to download / run a program, then why would you only steal their email account nformation? Why not simply take control of the whole thing?\nSolution ??\n# Think.\n# Scan often.\n# Look for potential problems, dont wait for them to find you.\n# Use case sensitive alphanumeric PWs at least 8 characters long and use symbols like @, #, $ whenever able!!!\nThat should help!!!\nAbhishek

Well you can't unless is on the same computer and you know the ID and password.  Achieves are saved in your computer only if you have set yahoo IM to do as such.  Or you mean you want to hack into some ones computer.

You can see what happens and what to do about it here, but basicaaly, some passwords need chaged. If you are sending it, change yours, if you are getting it, tell the person who you got it from to chage theirs, go read about it, it is an old scam, but still works\nhttp://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:DWjFmbcx3ZYJ:jameswebsite.net/forum/index.php%3Fact%3DST%26f%3D11%26t%3D127%26s%3D8f57742df88279302f0fef30dbb197a0+geosite+link+virus+on+Yahoo+messenger+&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2

Change your password immediately, run a virus scan- and make sure your antivirus software is up to date. Do the same with your adware/spyware protection. And use a good firewall such as Zone Alarm.\n\nAnd make sure not to give ANYONE your password. It sounds to me like you've been hacked!\n\nOh yes, and if you get any strange e-mail, don't open it and especially don't respond to it: That tends to be a favored tool of Phishers, Scammers, and other assorted scums.

No one has hacked into your computer. Someone is logging into your messenger account while you are logged into it on your computer. I would advise you to change your password... What could have happened was that you logged in somewhere else, like at a friend's house, and everytime the internet is turned on the messenger automatically logs itself as the last user to have been logged in. The other person may not even realize this is happening.

Get a trojan remover or best an anti virus. Try www.symantec.com\nThat is what Yahoo! suggests.

This usually happens when u have left ur email id open for a long time and have not clicked on any button. but other reason for this could be\n\n1) Check out ur cookies, they might have expired. Go to internet option in Tools on Tool bar( i.e. the top line of ur window) and click on delete cookies. This might help\n\n2) Or try logging in again and change your password because your computer might have been hacked with a software which shows this problem and send the password u enter to the owner of the software. Before that try a anti spyware software or anti virus software so that the virus is removed(if there).\n\nI hope these would solve your problem.

It is impossible to check to who has changed your yahoo password.. it is up to you to keep your password securd.. how did you find out the new password that was used? \n\nTry sending an email to yourself and see where it ends up..

Its an Adware ! Get a anti-spy installed, scan your pc & remove the adware. For adware install spybot or ccleaner from download.com\n\nOR simply download yahoo tollbar with anti-spy & perform the scan immediately.

If you think your Yahoo! account was hacked, the first thing you should try is to reset the password. You can do this by going to http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile and clicking on "Change Password"\n\nIf you can't sign in, then you should contact Yahoo! Customer Care. They should be able to reset your password for you if you can verify who you are, and things about your account.\n\nYahoo! Customer Care:\nhttp://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/security/cgi_feedback

Someone else is using it then.  Change your password and secret question.\n(It's possible that you have multiple yahoo clients open that are conflicting but that would be my second thing to look at)
