this is a several part question, but related. first, what are the ports yahoo messenger voice , file, and cam use? ( win 7, 64 bit). second, if i am sent a link in messenger, and its a legit link, will clicking on it send my ip to the sender of the link, will theirs be sent to me, and if so, where on my pc will it be logged? third, when doing a netstat-n prompt while in IM, do i do the prompt during the voice chat-file transfer-cam on ? besides not using yahoo messenger, is there anything else that is reccomended that i not do?

Can't answer all your questions. But as for the Yahoo ports info:

Quote

Ports Yahoo! Messenger uses!

Yahoo! Messenger services uses a variety of ports. Service Ports
Chat & Messenger TCP Port 5050: Client Access only
Insider/Room Lists TCP Port 80: Client Access only
File Transfer TCP Port 80: Server Access.
Your ISP may block this port, as its used for web hosting.
You can change port in Messenger, Preferences, File Transfer.
Voice Chat UDP 5000-5010
TCP 5000-5001: Client Access
If UDP Fails, TCP will be used instead, see below.
WebCam TCP Port 5100: Client Access
Super Webcam TCP Port 5100: Server Access
P2P Instant Messages TCP Port 5101: Server Access
PMs between Buddys may not use the Yahoo! Server, but this is not a requirement.
