For him to be able to do that he will need a program on your computer. Go look in add/remove programs and do an ad/spyware scan.

What i don't understand is how this has to do with MSN/Windows (Live) Messenger..unless you mean the convo's are tracked between you chatting on Windows Live Messenger with Yahoo contacts....please explain.

Do you know him personally? if not do you know how he found out your address?

I would say what Sunshine said and run multiple spyware scans.


All are Free.

List of good Anti-Spyware programs
[*]AVG Anti-Spyware
[*]Ad-Aware
[*]Windows Defender
[/list]

you can also try either of these free online scanners

  1. Trend Micro House Call
  2. Microsoft Online Safety Scanner
  3. Yahoo Security Centre
    [/list]

Sounds like a keylogger of sorts, do a scan with the programs mention above ASAP.

It could also be that your friend who you're having a conversation with is playing a trick on you..

I'd be very surprised if someone would hack go through all that trouble for a yahoo! messenger chat log..
