How do I stop getting those contact pop-ups in my e-mail?

Every time I log into my e-mail, I get a pop-up that says someone wants to be added to my contacts list. I am getting so tired of turning off that pop-up. How can I stop it from returning?

    On My Activity click Edit My Preferences. Click Privacy and Communication. Scroll down and click Don't share my updates. Click Submit. Also on the mail screen click Options. Then at the top of the list uncheck Enable updates, upper left click Save Changes.

    You can also click the View Profile icon and hide your profile, but then your avatar won't show on Q&A

    You can also click this link http://pulse.yahoo.com/y/settings/email_%E2%80%A6 and set invites to "No".
