17 I did run into that once before. Yahoo was determined to upgrade but I
18 was using Kopete so things didn't go to well. It was a pop up that I
19 could disable but it would still start trying to download the new
20 version. Of course, when I told it to skip the upgrade it stopped the
21 download. I have not seen any sort of pop up yet with the current issue.

23 It is weird but it hasn't done it since my earlier post. It will do it
24 again eventually tho. I'm just waiting so I can get wireshark a hold
25 of it.
