Yahoo Messenger is one of the most used instant messaging programs, but for some time more and more users are complaining about their status message "Connected to".

A new Yahoo Messenger Virus

A variant of an existing worm is attacking Yahoo Messenger users with impressive speed, security analysts said Tuesday.

Launched May 1 after a Romanian holiday, Yahoo Messenger users in the European nation were prompted to launch the worm on their PCs after receiving an IM believed to be from a Buddy; the emoticon-filled IM includes a photo link which delivers the worm, and then takes over the user's PC to deliver the same link to friends on their Buddy List.

An .exe file is required to be executed in order to run the virus.

The worm, known as Palevo, W32.Ymfocard.fam.Botnet, or W32.Yimfoca depending on antivirus software, spread at an infection rate of 500 percent per hour beginning over the weekend, according to Dark Reading.

The virus is also reported to "install malware, steal files, intercept passwords, and launch span or other malware attacks."

Furthermore, PC users who are infected by the worm may also have infected USB drives connected to the computer at the moment of infection, increasing the opportunity for infecting other computers in the process.

Protect yourself from vulnerabilities by checking with Buddies before clicking any link, and updating your antivirus software.

Webcam in Yahoo Messenger

How to Use Your Webcam in Yahoo Messenger

• Step 1
  Head to the Yahoo home page, turn on Yahoo Messenger using the 'Messenger' link and log in using your account name and password. You'll need to create an account if you haven't done so already (see Resources below).
  
• Step 2
  Click the 'Messenger' followed by the 'Start My Webcam' option. This will load your webcam, and is among the ways you can get your webcam to begin broadcasting.
  
• Step 3
  Click on the camera icon that appears in a chat window while you are talking to a friend.
  
• Step 4
  Click on a contact from your Contact List, then click 'Invite to View My Webcam.' This opens a new IM window with your webcam active.
  
• Step 5
  Click the 'View Webcam' link while talking to others in IM. This will allow you to see their webcams.
  
• Step 6
  Use the 'Super Webcam' mode when you want to send and receive high-quality images and feeds. Broadband makes it possible to see one another in very high resolution, although even with high-end broadband your computer may slow down a bit because of the amount of memory and processing power this requires.
  
• Step 7
• Click 'Webcam' followed by the 'Who's Watching Me' button to see which of your friends is receiving your webcam's feed.

Tips & Warnings

• Adjust your webcam to be in a convenient position. Most people opt to set it on top of the monitor or just below it. The better the angle, the easier it will be to voice chat using the webcam (you won't need to move your whole head to be centered, just your eyes).
• If you're having trouble calibrating your webcam or need assistance setting it up, try Yahoo Answers for assistance (see Resources below). Members of the community are glad to help.
• Be very careful to avoid violating the terms and conditions set forth by Yahoo Messenger. Hosting pornography, for example, is a violation, and can be punishable by banning or even criminal charges in extreme cases. Regardless of your account's privacy settings, Yahoo can still monitor such illegal activity.
