Go into the preferences menu in messenger (it's in the "messenger" main menu), you can change those settings there under the "general" category.

The latest ver. of Messenger has new features\nupgrade  by clicking the Yes to begin  \nIf you choose not to upgrade, you will continue \nto be prompted at each subsequent sign in. \nCurrently there is no way to turn off the notification. \nIf you have an issue installing the latest ver. of Messenger, \njust follow :\ndownload the installation file to your desktop. \nDouble-click the ymsgrins.exe file located on your \nDesktop to begin the installation process. \nFollow the directions and you should be all set.

go to the top of your computer and click on TOOLS. At the drop down box, click on "POP-UP BLOCKER", then click on "TURN ON POP-UP BLOCKER".  That should do it. Let me know if that works.  LOL

It's not a virus.  Geesh.  Everything that happens with computers these days is "OMG, it's a virus."  No, it's not.  It's the messenger "welcome" window.  You can go into your messenger preferences and there should be some check boxes.  Just customize it how you want it.  And if you want to wait til you are fully logged onto your computer before you open your messenger, check the box that says something like "wait til I log in before signing on" or if there's a checkmark in a box that says "log in automatically", take that check mark out of that box.

Check your tool bar . There should be a pop up blocker. Enable it and it should take care of your problem.\n\nHope this helps. Good luck.

I noticed that Norton Internet Security (their PC firewall) will block Yahoo! Instant Messager if you just blindly accept their pop up window.  It's the only application I've seen where their default is "deny".\n\nTry turning off Norton then installing Messenger.  That worked for me. (You shouldn't need to turn off the Virus part, just the Internet or Firewall part)\n\nI've had this problem on two new computers my family got for Christmas (a Compaq and an HP).

Right the popup blocker icon & turn it off by uncheck the enable or check the disable option for Yahoo or other.  For MS Windows, click tools , select popup blocker and then turn off
