Is Yahoo web messenger safe?

How can I permanently turn off Yahoo! Web Messenger?

  • Yahoo! Web Messenger is very annoying. I tried to turn it off, or even have that always ask me function of it enabled. I always have Yahoo! Messenger running (I have the latest 11 version clean installed) but every time that I check my email, Yahoo "helpfully" pulls up web messenger! I can't have Web Messenger turned off, or try to get it to always ask, because it never obeys! It always comes up, every time I open my email, & it seems to be unavoidable. Please, is there anyone that can tell me how to permanently disable it? Web Messenger is very nice, but when I got Yahoo! Messenger open, I don't need it! Please, save my sanity! Somebody help me & tell me how I can permanently disable this thing!

when you're online on the mail page and web messenger pops up, look into the button "Chat" and set yourself to be OFFLINE. in that way, it will disappear while you are still logged on the mail.
