If you promise to stop (by clicking the Agree button below), we'll unblock your connection for now, but we will immediately re-block it if we detect additional bad behavior. Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time.Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.Running a "scraper" or "downloader" program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: It is recommended that users never click on a URL embedded within an instant message, especially from an unknown contact.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. By clicking on this type of link, a user can infect his or her workstation. Many of these worms spread via URLs displayed within a message from a contact. Instant messaging clients can bypass security devices such as firewalls, uniform resource locator (URL) filtering, and gateway security devices, promoting the spread of malicious code. Malicious code has the ability to spread quickly through instant messaging networks, circumventing protection that is put in place to prevent worms and viruses from spreading. These transfers can be done without the knowledge or consent of an affected user and can involve the transfer of confidential files or copyrighted files, such as MP3s, movies, and licensed software. The usual safeguards against file transfers are bypassed through instant messaging.

Data leakage allows the flow of sensitive and confidential information into and out of an organization or individual's workstation. Many of the features of Yahoo! Messenger are also avenues for security issues, such as data leakage, social engineering, malicious code, and client vulnerabilities. Yahoo! Messenger provides a great number of tools to enable users to communicate through text, voice, and video.
