yea, i know your problem. first, you need a firewall. i recommend them for all broadband connections. heres a great one: http://www.download.com/Filseclab-Personal-Firewall-Professional-Edition/3000-10435_4-10421598.html?tag=lst-0-2 its free, and i use it on all my comps. then, after you finish that, change your yahoo id again. this should work. (if you have an existing firewall, this one is prob better. windows firewall barly works.)

whoah that guy's a freak.
have you changed your alias and tried to get a firewall or some blocker so he doesn't try to peel his way back into your gateway? so on?
have you reported him? this does fall under 'invasion' and harrassment.
yahoo.com has a help page with abuse, copyright then stuff about harrassment and other internet invasion issues. they also have addresses, numbers, emails and forms where you can contact them.
there's .gov agencies online too that you can report to.
it's not his right to invade you like that. try to stay at least 2 steps ahead of this wacko.
i bet you're not the only one he does this too.. so if you save his transcripts and try to get a program or something that will record his invasions to your machine and get his ip address and so on... and talk with yahoo and key into google.com for more information on internet harrassment and invasion online.
there's bunches of things and people out there who can help you and teach you to protect yourself and what to do to aleviate issues like this and avoid them in the future.
