Yahoo Messenger Free Download For Windows 10 64 Bit

In addition, Yahoo Messenger also has a range of customization options that allow you to personalize your messaging experience. For example, you can change the color and design of your chat windows, add emoticons and stickers to your messages, and even create your own custom avatar.

In addition to instant messaging features similar to those offered by ICQ, it also offered (on Microsoft Windows) features such as: IMVironments (customizing the look of Instant Message windows, some of which include authorized themes of various cartoons such as Garfield or Dilbert), address-book integration and Custom Status Messages.[5] It was also the first major IM client to feature BUZZing and music-status.

Yahoo has since closed down the chat.yahoo.com site (first having it redirect visitors to a section of the Yahoo! Messenger page, but as of June 2019 not even resolving that host name anymore) because the great majority of chat users accessed it through Messenger. The company worked for a while on a way to allow users to create their own rooms while providing safeguards against abuse[citation needed]. A greyed-out option to "create a room" was available until the release of version 11.

On October 13, 2005, Yahoo and Microsoft announced plans to introduce interoperability between their two messengers, creating the second-largest real-time communications service userbase worldwide: 40 percent of all users.[13][14] The announcement came after years of third-party interoperability success (most notably, Trillian and Pidgin) and criticisms that the major real-time communications services were locking their networks. Microsoft has also had talks with AOL in an attempt to introduce further interoperability, but AOL was unwilling to participate.

Interoperability between Yahoo and Windows Live Messenger was launched July 12, 2006. This allowed Yahoo and Windows Live Messenger users to chat to each other without the need to create an account on the other service, provided both contacts used the latest versions of the clients. It was not possible to talk using the voice service between the two different messengers.

Yahoo! Messenger users could listen to free and paid Internet radio services, using the defunct Yahoo! Music Radio plug-in from within the messenger window. The plug-in also player functionality, such as play, pause, skip and rate this song.

As of March 27, 2016, the only supported clients were the Android, iOS and web browser clients. The previous Windows, Mac, Unix and Solaris clients were not supported anymore, and their servers began shutting down on August 5, 2016,[24] with the clients no longer working by August 31, 2016.[25] It turned out that the servers for the legacy clients were finally shut down sometime between the mid-morning and early afternoon hours Eastern Standard Time on September 1, 2016, resulting in the legacy desktop clients no longer being able to access their buddy/contact lists.[citation needed] As of 2018 (with the last version), Yahoo! Messenger was available for computers as a web service, including both a messenger-only site and Yahoo! Mail integration. Apps were also available on Android and iOS. Pidgin could connect to Yahoo! Messenger by using the FunYahoo++ plugin.

Beginning in 2006, Yahoo made known its intention to provide a web interface for Yahoo! Messenger, culminating in the Gmail-like web archival and indexing of chat conversations through Yahoo! Mail. However, while Yahoo! Mail integrated much of the rudimentary features of Messenger beginning in 2007, Yahoo did not succeed initially in integrating archival of chat conversations into Mail. Instead, a separate Adobe Flex-based web messenger[51] was released in 2007 with archival of conversations which take place inside the web messenger itself.[52]

I did the same thing and went to a geocities site sent to me from someone on my buddy list. I copied and pasted the link into my browser and it stole my password. When I signed up with that yahoo account I used false informatio that I didnt write down. Yahoo customer service is worthless. I have been trying to learn how to hack just to get my own email account back.

This happened to me today. I reported the url to US-CERT.GOV for good measure. I also reported it to google at

Anyway, i found that my yahoo userid and password got sent to staff.yahoo.mail.admin@gmail.com

via

I did whois on this domain and it's registered to someone in Japan.

I realized that this might be phishing and confirmed it using a network tcp packet sniffer to watch the http traffic. I changed my password immediately, so I should be ok.

Note that IE7 and Firefox 2 will have anti-phishing measures.

On August 18, 2006 I became a victim of a phishing scam through my yahoo messenger. I have call yahoo at there customer support # which is 866 562 7219 which I just get referred back to emailing yahoo security which is

account-security-help@cc.yahoo-inc.com

which I have sent over 30 emails asking for help. The sad thing of this matter is the hacker change all aspects of my account information, my zip code don't match what yahoo has on record now. The secret question they ask for I don't recall. So to make a long story short I loss pictures I had stored of my children, family, friends and several contacts that I only had stored there. Yahoo has been NO help at all to me. So I guess the phishing hacker won this battle with the help of yahoo customer service if any one reads this with a similar experience that finally got there account back please let me know I'll be back checking this site... Thanks for letting me Vent...Steve

- and so i join the esteemed club of those snookered by the geocities phishing scam. my old account is still active, but i cannot access it because, as you all know, the personal information and security questions have been changed by the interloper. - yahoo was indeed useless to me, but it isnt really their fault. - i have pretty much given up on ever getting my old id back, but i am curious; does anyone know who these people are, what they are looking for and 'why' my account would still be active months after being hacked? - (i remain open to suggestions for retrieving my old id.) - good luck to all sabatoged.

- die phisher scum.

I clicked on a link from a friend, and it said yahoo pictures so stupid me put in my yahoo name and password and someone hijacked my account. I know some of my friends on messenger got the link from me but I didn't send it. I guess it sent after I clicked it and they lost their yahoo accounts too. If you did have this happen you need to email yahoo at this email addres.

account-security-help@cc.yahoo-inc.com

I got this email from the support guy at yahoo. The phone number there is 1-866-562-7219. It took me forever to find this number so write it down for safe keeping. If you email them about your account being stolen, in the subject just type your yahoo id and then in the body explain what happened. They will email you back an auto response and you fill it in and email it back. I guess I forgot my security question or something and they emailed me back and told me to fax them my state id. I did this and a few days later they emailed me and I had my account back. It took me about a week to get this done. Hope this helps anyone out there.

I too have recently received an IM suggesting there were new photos at a geocities site from one of my Yahoo! Messenger friends. Not really thinking about it, I clicked. I have my settings so that I am always already signed into Yahoo! sites when I click from a messenger window so was never asked for my ID and password...I simply was brought to an error page. I sent an offline to my friend saying I wasn't able to see her pictures and she eventually IMed back saying she never sent that IM to me. :o Yikes! Well, I don't believe I have at any point so far lost control of my Yahoo! account, but as a precaution, I did change my password.

I too fell for this scam. I thought, gee, I guess 'profile-surfers' got tired of me blocking them and reporting them as spam and they finally reported me. I too go to the 'yahoo website' and put in my info and BAM, there it all went wrong.

Anyway, all of you know what happened after that. I emailed Yahoo on Monday morning around 9 a.m. I got an email telling me how to change my password. I told them I already did that. They emailed me and asked for my secret answer. I told them that since I started this ID 10 years ago, I can't remember what the question was! I got another email telling me how to change my password. This went on for 3 days or so. On Friday A.M., I got another email telling me what my Security Question was, so I emailed back the answer. FINALLY, Friday afternoon around 4, my password was changed back and MY YAHOO IS BACK!!!!

So, the moral of this story? PERSISTANCE PAYS OFF!!!! Good luck for everyone who is still trying to get their ID back!

hi all, i just got phished sunday morning after clicking on a link saying that i would find my pictures being used there. well, low and behold i couldnt enter my account after being kicked off of it. it keeps saying invalid. i emailed yahoo several times and i even called customer care in which they referred me to this email in which i send them all my original registration information.

now im waiting for a response from the email in hopes of getting my yahoo account back. how can i remember the secret question if when i request my password, my zip code was changed? this is a job in itself!! the information provided on this sited is pretty useful, thanks alot guys. and good luck to all in pursuit of getting your accounts back. ff782bc1db
