Hi,
A booter is primarily a program with which you can log into multiple accounts in the same network and then send messages to a certain user from each one of that account of yours. A booter works on the principle of denial of service. It sends you a huge number of requests to the targeted person, its more than the application can handle. So the application automatically logs the user off. This is why you see people get logged out after getting booted. You may learn more about it in details in http://technolocus.blogspot.com/2010/05/yahoo-booting-secret-revealed.html There are other resources mentioned there too. Thanks
God bless you

Booting can't be prevented with antivirus programs. There are a few boot-resistant chat client. You should download them. Get the full list from http://technolocus.blogspot.com/2010/05/free-yahoo-chat-clients-download.html I personally recommend Yzak. And yes, booting may crash your computer and can do further damage if done desperately.
