How do I get rid of Yahoo Personals alerts?

Bubulina: How do I get rid of Yahoo Personals alerts?
I’ve never visited Yahoo Personals web page, I don’t have an account and I’m not interested at all in this service. Nevertheless, every time I open Yahoo Messenger an alert pops-out saying I have over a hundred messages waiting for me at Yahoo Personals. How do I get rid of that annoying pop-up?

PS: I’ve already tried disabling it from Preferences/Alerts&Sounds and it didn’t work.

Thank you!

I have the same problem right now. From what I saw on other questions (there are quite a few questions about this topic), Yahoo said it’s a glitch that they’re currently working on. Hopefully it should be gone in a few days. I’ve had this for a few weeks now and I’ve already done everything I can think of from turning off alerts to reinstalling messenger but nothing worked. It is annoying plus its embarrassing when I open my YM at school. I don’t want people to think I’m a Yahoo personals addict lol. So I just use the messenger in Yahoo Mail when I’m in public. I really hope this can be fixed soon.
