Unfortunately, you'll need administrator privilges to change the security settings and allow messengers on your machine.  I'd buy your system admin some Starbucks and see they can't cut you a deal ;-)

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!!

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 need to unblock the application that you are using for accessing your emails.\nEx. If you are using Outlook for accessing your emails then you need to unblock (in firewall). Else if you are using Internet Explorer to access them then simply unblock (i.e. grant full access to) IE.\n\nAnyways... which Firewall you are using? That can bring more things in light....    :o)

Make sure that you have Yahoo! unblocked from your current Firewall, Antispyware, NAT software...\n\nTry what I said first, if still doesn't connect, then try visiting the link bellow and follow click on the appropriate link depending on your version and problem:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/messenger/\n\nGood Luck

Go to microsoft.com and type in ''FireWall Disable'' in the search area. It will bring you to the instructions. You then fallow those. Then go on the exceptions tab and then uncheck the IM you are using.

There may two problems...\n1. Check the settings of the Norton Anti-spyware provided by yahoo... if it has any setting that says "firewall enabled", then disable it.\n\n2. Go the the Control Panel, and then to Windows Firewall( switch to the Classic View if using XP ). Then disable the firewall while using the chat program.\n\n(3.) You may try using Yahoo messenger for chatting ... maybe the Firewall will allow it( after all the firewall was enable by yahoo!! ;-) )\n\nYours\nThe Bazeegar

I expect that your system administrator has purposely blocked it.  Many employers block sites when they find that too much compnay time is spent doing personal internet stuff.  I'd leave it alone and check your personal e-amil and play Yahoo games at home on your own time if you want to keep your job.

2 options.\n\n1. configure your firewall to permit yahoo messenger to go online. \n\n2. click on 'connection preferences' on yahoo and then select the option that says 'Firewall with no proxies'. \n\nHope that helps.\n\nFirewall is your problem.

Speaking of recycled braincells, he also did a post on HTTP header filters (found in the add-ins area of the console) that you can put in to block access to a number of programs you might not want to have running through your firewall.  Applications these days can run through port 80 when you think you have them blocked by other means.\n\nOn a personal note - I don’t believe it’s a good idea to block MSN Messenger / Windows Messenger / other messenger programs without assessing the impact shutting them off will have on your user community.  Besides being an alternate method of communication to your clients and customers, these services provide valuable “presence information”.  Looking for an in-house solution? Check out Live Communication Server and the new communicator client for a fantastic SECURE managed presence solution.  I’ll be posting more information on these as I prepare for a show in Montreal with Dell around collaboration. \n\nWhat are YOUR thoughts on blocking access?

It would be unwise for you to remove the firewall.  All firewall programs allow you to give "exceptions" to sites that you want to have a two way interaction through the firewall.  The link below covers this issue; go to "step 5: known issues" to see how to allow MSN Messenger to opperate with your firewall.  Your firewall is your friend; it is trying to protect you.  Let it protect you and allow MSN Messenger at the same time!

only accept IM's from people on your friends list.  Look under preferences on messenger to do that.\n\nI can show you how to boot... just cock your leg back line up their butt n make sure to folow through with your kick.  Or you can go D/L a virus infected program n then destroy your own PC due to your own ignorance... either or I don't care.

depends where you work. some companies have firewalls up to stop employees accessing their yahoo accounts, chat rooms and games etc.

Your computer seems to have a firewall which is blocking the messenger from connection. In case you detect a problem with the new Yahoo messenger, you can download older versions of the product. You can download older versions of Yahoo Messenger from the following sites : \n\n(1) http://www.freecreed.com/ymsgr-archive.html\nIt provides 48 different versions\n\n(2) http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=yahoo\nIt provides 5 different versions 48 versions\n\nOlder Versions is faster in speed to download, so go after it if you are not seeking any specific version.\n\nIn case you want to use the messnger facilities without downloading, you can give a try to the following web based messenging websites :\n\n(1) http://www.meebo.com\n(2) http://www.e-messenger.net\n\nYou don't need to download or install any software if you use them. This wouldn't be blocked by firewall in general
