Yes, it's known as Y-tunnel, and comes recommended if you visit yahoo chats frequently. If you're going to do that, also take a peek at the latest vulnerabilities in google, and set up filters so the tags don't cause crashes.

It's been a while since I was in a Yahoo room but yes, I have also experienced these kind of "boots."
Yahelite is also a good third party Yahoo chat client. Set it on YCHAT protocol and "booters" will have a hard time.

I'll give a second recommendation for Yahelite. It does a decent job against most booters/spam in the chat rooms.
