Messenger stopped working...is it because of something called ym player?
For the last few days, every time I sign onto messenger, it prompts me to download or install (not sure which) something called ym player or yim player. According to the pop up, it was a possible security risk, so I kept cancelling it. Well, all of a sudden, my messenger started prompting me to update messenger. I use 8.1 and don't want to update to 9. So I kept stopping the update.
Now, today, messenger won't work at all.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Will I need to reinstall messenger 8.1?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

UPGRADE TIME AGAIN- (LOL)
You can still keep Yahoo messenger 9.
Were you listening to Yahoo Music Player?
There have been a lot of FAKE or SPAM messages being circulated lately..
The Prompt to update Yahoo Messenger is Real. There is a new version and all you need to do is go to
http://messenger.yahoo.com/ or accept the update. But I rather just go to the site and download.
Just reboot your computer after the update.
