malakia I've spotted it in numerous recently installed xp systems with yahoo messenger not installed, where browsing with IE didn't work anymore, start up in safe mode - everything works again. Kill the service starting up with msconfig - all ok. try to clean the registry -next boot, no internet, all registry links back
Bruce It locke my CPU up at 100% utilization - I killed the job - all was okay
DIDA It's definitely not the yahoo messenger, because it loads trojans in your system32 folder..
Alex Can be hijacked by a trojan - my trouble atm, because it is, and no tool finds it as yet. infected my whole network and kills DNS Resolving....
Coo There is a adware version of it, which spreads itself throughout your local network. Look for a file calles "O" in your system32 dir. If you have this, ur infected

EWSFDA When it's running under this name Ypager.EXE, my ie is not working.. no search engines loaded and not even a single website.. when i end its process everythings works fine and i also have 2 ypager.exe running.. one with capital '.EXE' (The one giving me this problem) and the other one the normal one my yahoo messenger uses.
Jav Some set a registry setting with "ypager -quiet" which caused Yahoo Messenger to open then immediately close again before I could login.
Gérard It may be a malware: I have it in c:\windows\system32! Furthermore I do NOT have yahoo messenger on board!
Laurens When i close Yahoo Messenger this process disapears out of the list

pluMmet It appears that someone is using it to hack my system. My CPU usage hits 100% about every 5 seconds. When I remove them from my buddies list everything went back to normal but I have to block a "remote system trying to connect thru Ypager" when I start up...Man Wake up Yahoo!
I have a Yahoo email account, but I've never installed their messenger, and yet I see it in my registry, so it's probably bad. I never use any type of instant messaging anyway so I don't need it
Rob When I deleted the ypager in Task Manager, my Yahoo IM session terminated. When I logged back into Yahoo IM, it returned. So, tt appears to be used by Yahoo IM.
Bryan It's harmess. Be real millions of people use it. It might be a pain, but it won't hurt anything. I have been using Messy since it's inception
UT_be careful same problems as above...internet explorer stops working. messed up my prokect! KILL IT!!!

if you end the ypager.exe process, it ends the yahoo instant messanger
geoff It's Yahoo Messenger..normally. Make sure you don't have any viruses on it, and that it's actually Yahoo Messenger, and that you want to run Yahoo. Please Note, if you want to TURN OFF YAHOO MESSENGER, you can do that by going to preferences and telling it not to Automatically Log In When Windows Starts

Andromeda it is trying to log onto the internet all the time without my permission or approval. I didn't reolize what was doing it untill I got a firewall set up and found this program being blocked more than 37 times in the first 5 minutes!!! I am worried that I have put myself at risk now. I will be doing further research adn will probly find a way to delete it from my system. Even though I use yahoo IM. It is NOT a friendly program.
Infurnus Yahoo IM. Use GAIM instead.
poop cool

John If you use yahoo messanger,its okay to leave it.
VJ ypager.exe - the main process belonging to the Yahoo IM application, an Internet messaging program. A non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is user preference
REDNIC DARIAN My messenger doesn't work because it can't find YPAGER.exe How can i download it?
DP Daniel Not able to open Yahoo Messager Inspite of downloading it 5 times. No short cut appears on the desktop.
Raffi Denson apparently when i used ms.config to clear out a lot of junk and with the registry it continues to tell me i'm missing a component and no longer may use the messenger. that is fine also, you know if you just use a router with a double fire wall that keeps a lot of hackers out. I did not say all for some are so hip. the more junk the more problems
honebanda it switches off my Yahoo messenger, its a nuisance, I don't need it
Kisara Normally Yahoo messenger, but if multiples appear or you do not have Yahoo! Messenger installed, killit.  See also: Link

Andy Yahoo Messenger helper exe, can be stopped/disabled safely
Mbeeee that is really yahoo messanger, try shutting it down your system will back to normal again .. i dont know ypager take up so much cpu usage
I have been bothered by this constantly popping up from a worm warning from Symantec or Norton Anti-Virus Software. If you run this Software..Open and go to 'Options Tab' the on the left select 'Instant Messenger Then untick the checking by Yahoo. Appy and close. This I believe stops the annoying option 'permiting' ever moment' or Blocking. I believe Yahoo is using this to check if the user is active. Could be a setting thing. Don't think its being used malicously.
Maur It is the service for Yahoo Messengerr located in C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger
~~~brighteyes~~~ every time i sign in or out of yahoo i get a ypager error...

Mobeena this is very interesting and i would like to down load yahoo messenger .
Rajesh Bhansali I found out that my ypager.exe was trying to find out my mouse movements and keyboard presses. When I typed something it appeared after a slight delay as if it was my mouse and keyboard moves were getting recorded somewhere. I installed ZONE ALARM. Restarted the machine and on starting ypager.exe immediately got the message that ypager was trying to get keyboard presses and mouse clicks, which it usually does. What we do not know is that whether it records even when we are not using the chat client. If so, and if it then sends everything somewhere on it's own, it'sDOOM for the ecommerce indus.
lizzard there are a lot of bugs and yahoo dosent pay attetion .they made it why wont they fix it.
jonni it is 4 yahoo instant messenger
i want to download developer's download network plugins, so to get started (as what the instruction is), i downloaded SDK, unfortunately, ypager.exe does not exist, i have to find the path or else request will be denied.
Jeff If you don't think you have Yahoo Messenger, but do have this program, it may come with ATT or SBC brand of DSL, since Yahoo co-operated with them. Not neccessary, but not likely to be harmful unless masquerading or in conflict; takes up some resources automatically
george Zone alarm warning would pop up that this program is able to log keystrokes, etc. I deny it using Zone Alarm and then yahoo messenger continues to open. If it is such an integral part of yahoo messenger how come it was not denied altogether?
atef yahoo messenger 4 chat
It is the exe for yahoo messenger. But if you have a good firewall you do not need to let it act as a server or accept connections from the net.
Webmaster Zona Alarm probably wants us to alert that Ypager.exe is able to get keyboard presses and mouse movement. Obviously that is essential for it to function. For those who are suspicious about it they can block it.  See also: Link
