what happens when you enter a chat room and your screen floods with instant messages?

"Bots" are auto-programs that wait for a certain trigger and activate. You got hit with some bad ones. "Flood" is to get someone off a channel used for private or illegal purposes, like spamming. Report this to the proper authorities and let them deal. Meanwhile, find a new chat room.

Make sure you don't have Yahoo! Messenger running twice.  If you don't, then reinstall Messenger.  If it still bugs the crap out of you, download a third-party chat client.  \n\nwww.cheetachat.com\nwww.fxscripts.mychat.com

You might be using up too much RAM. I really haven't had problems with my messenger.

looks like a virus to me... maybe even one of those script kiddie programs they use in the chat rooms....

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.

are you going into chat by the way of messenger.. click tools at top of messenger, scroll down 2 chat, click it.. if that doesn't work, maybe you need 2 reboot or refresh messenger, by clicking view at  top of messenger and then click refresh  : )

an 'empty' chat room ...\n\n\non a serious note: a chat room with only 1 person, since you would essentially chat with yourself or not chat at all

when your logged in and in a chat room, minimize your first log in, go to Internet explorer again and log in to the same chat room with a different I.D. you can do that with however many i.d's you have.

You are suffering from a problem called chat room leakage. This causes all the color to leak from your screen. There is a closely related problem which is called biological cpu wastage.

It appears you are being spammed thru messenger, this is NOT MSN Messenger but a service of Windows.  Turn it off, it is a security risk.  control panel - Administrative tools - services and then disable messenger.  It will not stop any instant messenger program.  Otherwise you are referring to a pop up from you browser in which you need to get a pop up blocker\n\nThat should be worth 10 points!!

I have never heard of that happening before nor do I recall ever hearing that from Microsoft. It sounds to me like someone is trying to scam you. I use both Yahoo and Messenger at the same time and I don't get forced off of one or the other.

You have to turn off your instant messages for most booter programs. Other than that, I would just leave the room until the one doing the booting gets bored.
