I hate to assume anything, but the problem is NOT that computer, in as much as it is simply following the user prompts of what to do in a situation, such as giving some website access to your harddrive.

In reading your question, it merely sounds as though your anti virus, or windows security software is warning you that an attempt is being made to download software.

You'll need to provide more information to better ascertain if there is more of a problem. However it sounds as though this is the case,

Perhaps during the process, you're hearing a belltone (warning beep) and maybe you have not looked to see it, but there may be a light yellow bar displayed horizontal across the top of your window, under the browser toolbar above. If you right click on this, it may be suggesting or asking for you to decide to allow this operation or not.

In either case, you should be able to allow the operation simply by approving this action as OK.

Good Luck

I guess you are trying to download it from Google Chrome, if so, it's not actually going to harm your computer, but as a precautionary measure, it only warns you, suppose if in case something is trying to download without your knowledge, this will prevent it from downloading automatically. Simply click "Yes" and download it. If you are not very sure, please follow this LINK and follow the instructions on how to download and install Yahoo! Messenger. Let me know if you need further help.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Whenever i try to download yahoo messenger it puts me a warning saying dat this file u r attempting to download may harm ur computer........y is it giving me dat warning?shudnt i download yahoomessenger?

Hi,
Well my friend there is nothing to worry about. Actually the file you are trying to download is an .exe file which is why you are getting this warning. Actually in swindows mst virus comes in the form of exe(executable) file So this warning comes. No need to panic just download the messanger and install it. There will be no problem in that.

I cant installe yahoo messenger because of a fire wall.

Try use Yahoo Messenger 9, the latest version. Before download yahoo messenger, make sure firewall allows your connection to download it. It shows that your PC protected from any harmful software because of your firewall. One more thing download your yahoo messenger only for trustful sources websites, it much better. i think you should check your firewall settings. Check also your Windows Firewall. I think there are some problems in your firewall settings. It may be blocked your yahoo messenger from downloading it into your PC. If you use Personal Firewall, make sure it allows your connection to receiving incoming connections and allows you to install yahoo messenger,check it out, may be it blocked your yahoo messenger. I think this tips can be help you a little bit.

Good Luck!
