check ur connection preferences in the messenger settings, if u browse from a proxy setup , try and make adjustments. if u cant do it make use of a broser based instant messenger like ebuddy.com

ur problem is simple,
ur infected with a smart trojan called amvo.exe with its variants, most antivirus wont detect it, download hijackthis and run a system scan ,find amvo.exe,select and delete it,
or install avast , during istallation, prompt it to do a boot time scan at startup,

hi chief, u can download from www.brothersoft.com. it actually allows you to download the installation file afterwards you can install wethere you are online or not. instaed of downloading straight from yahoo in which case it installs straight from yahoo and could take ages undecided

Re: Yahoo Messenger Not Working On My Laptop by deji2009(m): 4:52pm On May 15, 2011
click start, run and type in appwiz.cpl and then press enter,

a list of programme would appear make sure you dont have norton

security installed and check you only have one security and

not two as this may conflict with one another then try again.

If you use a usb dongle to connect it may take longer to

download programmes such as yahoo messenger.


If no joy click start run and type mrt press enter

go for full scan and wait for result.

On replying back please post to
