Hello, if you look at the top of the page, and it says Welcome <you username>, underneath it, there is a link to "Sign Out". If you click on this link, you can sign out of the account that is currently logged in, then re-sign in under another Yahoo username, if you have one. If you click on "my account" I believe that can help you to un-select the feature Automatic sign-in" which it sounds like you have checked on that computer, which when you go to Yahoo.com, it automatically signs you in. I would never check this anywhere, because then no one can get into your account. I hope this helps. Check out your user preferences under "My Yahoo" found at the top of your Yahoo page, as well.

Sign off but don't exit, then uncheck the "automatically log in" box! Don't even let it save your password, that will really make it stop. I used to have that problem all the time.

That annoying pop up is actually either spyware or adware - the only way to get rid of it is to download a spyware sweeper and then to do a scan to remove it.\n\nFor a quick fix you can try this: WIN XP\n\nClick start > run > type "msconfig" > click on furthest right startup > disable all > click ok or apply > restart your computer\n\nThis msconfig is totaly reversable and will stop the icons loading up when you start windows - it will not delete it\n\nhope this helps

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

Install an anti-spyware which also has a pop-up blocker.\nI strongly recommend Webroot SpySweeper, http://www.webroot.com/\nIt's cool, not heavy on the system resources, does the job extremely well, very customizable and the best !

You have to deactivate the instant messenger program from starting  at all.  \n1  Open the messenger program and change its system preferences so that it doesn't start each time the computer starts.  \n\nYour son's setting will be fine.  All he will have to do is click on the program icon to start it up.

Well im not sure what version of AIM you are using, but if you want to keep it from starting up, you can right-click on the icon in the taskbar and click on Preferences, then under the Sign On/Off selection, just un-check the box next to Start AIM when Windows Starts. Not sure for the Yahoo Messenger, dont use it. For the firewall problem, you want to go to the Control Panel on your computer (Can get there from the Start Menu in most cases) then find the thing that says Security Center, Under the firewall section, there should be something saying, let me manage my firewall myself, or something like that, will let you disable monitoring if its on or not. In your case it seems it is, but Windows just doesn't recognize that it is on and working.

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!!

On Yahoo Messenger: Click Messenger Menu -> Click Preferences. Go to General section of the Preferences Window and uncheck the Box saying When I start My Computer, Automatically start Yahoo Messenger!.\n\nFor AOL, go into General preferences in AIM and uncheck (disable) the Start AIM when Windows starts option.\n\nThis should do the trick.\n\n\nThanks,\nManish
