My Japanese friend has installed Yahoo Messenger (English version) on a few computers at different internet cafes in Japan. Now, whenever those computers are turned on by a customer, Messenger automatically starts and signs in under my friend's name, so I am constantly getting messages that she is online, offline, etc, all day long.
I was wondering what happens when she actually signs in on another computer while her name is already logged in on one of those computers? Is it possible to be logged in under the same name on different computers at the same time? Will a customer using a computer that has already automatically signed my friend in be able to "eavesdrop" and read our chat messages while we are chatting?
Logged on to Yahoo Messenger on different computers at the same time?anti virus software
you now can stay logged on yahoo for up to two weeks. that is an option you have to choose. I have 2 computers and on the one i am always logged into yahoo even though i use another computer. Messenger is different. If you logg in another computer or even another prgram that allows you access to yahoo the open one will be closed. There is also another factor that I have found. If you have a cable conncetion like i have, and i believe it is true for all high speed conections, you remain on even though you logged out. I have logged out and always get pm's telling me that I was on at a certain time when i knew i was not. Also remember that when you are usuing another compute archives can be kept and your messeges can be viewed by anyone who goes to the archives and views them. There are seperate files for each account and you do not need a password to get into the archives. If your friend logs in at a library or some other public place most likely they have high speed and it will remain showing that she is on until she goes on at another computer and will only show that she is off is she is using dial up and logs off. hope that helps.
