| Chat |
| Ignore chat invitation's will prevent you from being booted by chat |
| invitation boots. If you wish to receive a chat invitation from a |
| friend go here and enable this while you receive the invitation then |
| disable it again afterwards. |
| I set my Word Filter on weak as I also use a boot code word filter. |
| This can be downloaded from the download page follow the |
| instructions for installing it. |
| A word about chat invites: It is possible if you are invisible on |
| messenger for someone to know you are online by sending you a |
| chat invite or a conference invite. When the persons sends a chat invite |
| if you are not online they will get a message user is not logged into |
| chat if you are there and have invites enabled you must decline or if |
| invites are disabled they will get no message. For conference invites |
| if you are offline they will still get the error message user is not available |
| at this time, if you are there the conference window will open on their |
| computer waiting for you to join them. Conference invites will connect |
| to the yahoo sound server before you accept or decline them allowing |
| the person to obtain your ip number. More about this in Ytunnel pages. |
| Webcam |
| Although I do not have a webcam I have included the settings here. |
| Tick the box to allow only the following users to view my webcam and |
| leave it blank. Ignore other view requests. |
| I have seen Webcam requests used as boots when someone sends you |
| a request to view your cam. Instead of only one request being received |
| you will however receive hundreds or more. If you have always ask |
| for my permission ticked you will receive these requests and be booted |
| it can cause a error in yahoo, freeze not only the yahoo program but |
| also freeze your computer and force you to have to restart. |
| These settings do not prevent you from inviting people to view your |
| webcam. Just send your webcam invite to your friend as normal. |
| Webcams: It is possible for a hacker to obtain control of your webcam |
| using it to see when you are at your computer. Wait for you to walk |
| away so you will not realize that someone else is also controlling your |
| computer and looking through your files. |
| From accepting the webcam invites they can also obtain your ip |
| number. Be Careful if you use a webcam!!! |
| Privacy |
| As here we are setting up Yahoo Messenger for use with Ytunnel |
| these are the options to use on the privacy page. |
| Ignore only the people below. Private message boots are the most |
| popular this is where messenger and ytunnel conflict when these are |
| received and cause one or both programs to error and windows to |
| close. By using these settings Ytunnel is handling the private messages |
| not Yahoo Messenger. |
| I don't allow people to see if I am idle or how long I have been idle |
| or see if I am playing games. This is at your discretion only my choice. |
| If you are receiving a lot of private message boots from the one name |
| add the name to your permanent ignore list in here by doing this they |
| will be ignored and stopped at the yahoo server and will not reach |
| your computer. |
| Most booters these days use bot names to boot so you will receive |
| the same name but the extension numbers are always different making |
| it hard to add them to your ignore list in messenger. |
