Is there any way to track an instant message to find out who it is?

you can always check the person's profile, but other than that no, because if they made it where u could do that, it would be too easy to hack into the same computer because it would give you all kinds of information about the computer when you tracked to where it was.  all in all it's just too big of a security issue to deal with. although it's "doable" especially by the government, you'd have to be a hacker to do it.

Unfortunately, NO. You can only be careful, use common sense.\n\nDon't engage them in chat, block them if they try private messaging you with the games' IM, these Instant Messengers are a foot in the door to hack and clone you.\nDon't click on their links- it's one big phishing expedition.\nReport them to Yahoo; if enough people do, it helps them track and identify those b-holes...\nand don't listen to your ipods in the shower.

i think there is no such way by which you can check that someone is accessing your mail from other computer and he/she can again mark it as unread.\n\nPLz tell me if you can get any method.

It depends on how clever the sender was.  You can view the true heading and IP address information of the computer that sent the message by viewing the HEADER information of an e-mail.  This is usually available within your e-mail program under VIEW > HEADER.  But many spammers now a days fake information even in the header, or send from third-party machines, so it's extremely difficult to track - virtually impossible right now.

I assume IMS is instant messages?  If this is true then with the help of Yahoo or someone that specializes in computer security and investigation, they should be able to trace the IP address.  The IP address is the unique address that all PCs have.  The Ip address should be able to lead them to the geographical address of the computer.  If all goes well you will then know the name of this person based on the house address or work address if he's using a pc at work.\n\nYou should post this one in computers and internet.  There's some computer geeks that could probably help to trace an IP address.

Your content is traveling unencrypted through the air. With the proper tools one could intercept your message. They may also connect to the network and have access to any shared resources.

Sure you can. \n\nThere is a search bar at the top of your screen type in something from either the subject line, of to whom it was sent.\n\nThough only good if you don't auto-erase your outgoing messages.

I'm not sure that there is a way. There are all those fake websites out there that say they can track who looks at your site but so far it doesn't look like any of them are for real.

i think, regardless you are in his contact list or not, if he doesn't use option "only accept IM from contact list", he'll see the message, unless he hast login for sometime. no way you can know if you are in his contact list or not.  call him up and ask him?

Yes it is possible but the way is not a good one. There are many applications exist through u can identify. One such application is a YAHOO BOOTER APPLICATION. It is a mischievous application for boothing and pranking online yahoo messenger users. It exist and work too. Almost all BOOTERS have option to check online user. I dont know the exact way how it is done but I think the application send packets to the users computer and then identify by the help of response. This is not a 100% accurate method as if the user being pinged has excelent security and strong firewall then the result will be negative. If u wana know more abt it contact me through e mail.

get one of their emails - look at the header information, find the source IP address and type that into an IP "who is" search - thsi is very brief but have a search on the Internet there are plenty of site to give help

There is no way to do it. All you can get is the ip of the originating email server and even that can be faked. If you own the first email server that the message was uploaded to, then you can get the ip addy of the sender if you were thinking ahead and configured logs right and if the sender wasn't a zombie or otherwise hacked. But if you could do that, then you wouldn't be asking this question on Yahoo! Answers.

If they signed in as invisible, they will look off line to you, or anyone they choose. I dont think there is any way you can find out otherwise
