Removing "Connected to" status

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".   

"Connected to" is a new Yahoo! Profile Connection (different than contact on your messenger list). The fact that it shows up on Yahoo Messenger is part of the Profile Updates. You can pick and choose which updates you want to share and also choose not to share any.

Read below what to do to get rid of this message.
 
1. Open your Yahoo! Contacts.
2. At the top of your list of contacts, click the first down arrow after All Contacts, and then select Connections in the pull-down menu.

All of your connections display below.
3. Find and click the name of the connection you want to remove.
4. In the contact's details, next to Connection, click Remove.

Note: Removing a connection does not remove a person from your Yahoo! Contacts. If you want to remove the person from your Contacts, click the trash icon in the upper-right corner of the person's detail page.
