I had issues with a message coming up on my screen about someone was logging in with another computer or a media device and then I'd get booted and then I constantly couldn't stay connected to yahoo messenger and now since I redownloaded it, it seems to be working but when I was uninstalling it said something about the GLF5 being a malicious code or something like that so I have deleted it, just wondering if my computer should be okay now.

Depends on what was written in the script. Some scripts are helpful -- of course those ones you or a computer tech would put on your system. Some are malicious and should be removed immediately. However, by completely removing no way to know what was written in the script.

So, this is a problem with Yahoo Messenger? I had to read it like twice to catch that. No, you don't.
