| Not able to open Yahoo Messager Inspite of downloading it 5 times. No short cut appears on the desktop. DP Daniel | |
| 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 Raffi Denson | |

| Yahoo Messenger helper exe, can be stopped/disabled safely Andy | |
| 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 Mbeeee | |
| 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. | |

| 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.

| 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. | |
| 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 Jeff | |
| 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? george | |

| 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. | |
| 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 Webmaster | |

| Depending on the process, it can be in your startup (start run msconfig startup) and be malicious, a keylogger. You can move it from there and disable it. Stuff like that is why I don't use Yahoo! messenger. It is always full of bugs that aren't updated. Captain Hooker | |
