Do you want to prevent persons from contacting you through mail and instant messenger? Or do you want to allow people to contact you using these means? If it's the former, simply go to the "edit my profile" option on your Q&A page, read through the info and deselect the options that allow persons to communicate with you through these methods. If you want people to be able to get in touch with you through email or messenger, go to your Q&A page, click "edit my profile" and select those options permiting them to do so.\n\nIf you need more detailed assistance. Message me and I'll try to help.\n\nTake care.

Good question!  It depends on a few things.  Where are you ignoring someone?  Is it on yahoo Instant messages?  What type of site?  yahoo 360 or something else?  If it is yahoo 360 there are certain things you can do to block some of the access.  Also, do you know if the person ever knew your site address?  That might be all it takes.  An idea would be to test your site with a friend.  See if you can block them.  Good luck!\n\nYou can always start another site under a different name.

People usually uses the Invisible to stop annoying IM's. They are usually online. Send them and IM and  and it will tell you if they are online or not.

Block all Yahoo?   Now you are being silly. \n\nBut go to the Control Panel, and pick ADD/REMOVE programs.  Then UNINSTALL the Yahoo Messenger. \n\nTell your daughter that she WILL NOT USE any IM program.  She WILL NOT install another copy.   Check your computer regularly to ensure that she has not installed another.  \n\nYes, you can BLOCK her from this, but the real lesson is to TEACH her the rules, then ensure that she follows them.\n\nKids Get Net Wise\nGreat information about Internet Safety\nhttp://kids.getnetwise.org/

you talk to the person you want to warn. at the bottom of the IM screen ther eis a button that says WARN. you click that and a window pops up that says warn annonymously? pick yes or no and then it works.\n\na reason its nto working may be that the computer didnt find anyhting wrong that the other person said. you cant warn the other person for no reason at all

Wow, this is interesting advice. For one, your not spelling right, and second, you can't transfer a virus through IM without accepting files.

You are unlikely to be suspended from messenger as this is a rare case. Best to stop talking to this person who is calling foul play, and block them.

If advertisements are opening on your computer in a window titled Messenger Service, it may indicate that your system is not secure. You should enable the Internet Connection Firewall and disable the Messenger Service in Windows XP to help protect your computer from unwanted spam and other potential threats.\n\nThe Messenger Service was originally designed for use by system administrators to notify Windows users about their networks. However, some advertisers have started using this service to send information via the Internet, and these messages could be used maliciously to distribute a virus.\n\n• Note Although the name of the service is similar, Messenger Service in Windows XP is not related to instant messaging programs such as Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger. Disabling instant messaging programs is not necessary and not recommended. Disabling instant messaging programs will not prevent Messenger Service spam on your computer. \n \n• If your computer is part of a corporate network, ask the network administrator before disabling Messenger Service. \n \n• If you have Windows XP at home or in a small office that you manage yourself, you should disable the Messenger Service. \n\nFirst, make sure that your system is protected by an Internet firewall and that you've followed the steps to Protect Your PC. Disabling the Messenger Service without using a firewall will prevent the unwanted spam, but will not protect your computer from intruders.\n\nTo disable the Messenger Service in Windows XP (Caution: If your computer is part of a corporate network, talk to your system administrator before taking this action.)\n\n1. Click Start and then click Control Panel. \n \n2. Click Performance and Maintenance. (If you do not see the Performance and Maintenance icon, you may be using Classic View. You can skip to step 3 below, but you must double-click Administrative Tools.) \n\n3. Click Administrative Tools.\n\n4. Double-click Services..\n\n5. Double-click Messenger.\n\n6. In the Startup type list, choose Disabled. \n\n7. Click Stop, and then click OK.

May be possible in some cases. I'm using GAIM instead of Yahoo Messenger and in an IM window i have an "Info" button. Pressing it, in 80% of the cases, it shows the IP address of the person i'm talking to.
