Well, I could just be over-reacting but I have installed Zone Alarm Pro on my PC just incase.

Stagger- the yahoo messenger is just one avenue I am exploring at the moment, but it seems strange that infomation that I posted there (in a private chat room) got out. In addition, I am certain that I was speaking to my old friend and not an imposter.

Is there any link between a secure conection on Hotmail and yahoo messenger? I presume that if someone wanted to gain access to my messenger they would 1. have to know I have it and 2. have it themselves.

As strange as this may sound, is there any chance that the yahoo messenger could have posted it'self (or my chat at the time) to someone in my hotmail address book. As I said before, I received two Emails from an old friend (who was in my address book) and while one of these messages was still selected ie. still connected to my Hotmail account. I then get paged on messenger and have a conversation. Could the two systems somehow interact?

Stupid questions I know, but I am a little nervous about the whole situation.

LE.
