Editor reviews for Yahoo Messenger

 

Yahoo Messenger become for many of us a synonym with chat. I used before Yahoo Mail services and after this I tried Yahoo Messenger. I know many people who also knows a lot of other people and so on. All of them uses this chat program to communicate. The main reason is because it is fun, free and very useful. You can transfer files ( small and medium in size ) while you have a conversation. You can play games with friends or people from all over the world and you can do a lot of other things like voice calls and viewing other people or friends on their webcams. You have to be careful when you are installing Yahoo Messenger at the installation screen since if you opt for Yahoo Search and many other Yahoo related, it will install all of them on your computer. You can avoid installing all of these by reading this article which shows you how to install Yahoo Messenger without Yahoo Search toolbar. Otherwise I would say that this is an almost a perfect chat software that can keep you connected with friends, new people and all of these only for the minimal system requirements and a Internet connection. In conclusion, almost everyone love Yahoo Messenger for his features and for his "easy to use" installation and options. So, if you never use it before, all you have to do is to download Yahoo Messenger and install it. Very soon, it will give you a feeling like you use it for years.

Yahoo Messenger additional notes

 

Technical issues regarding Yahoo Messenger are usually related to a lot of factors. It can be your system configuration, it may be the fault of your security settings, an adware, spyware, worm or any other form of malware. Another danger that people should be aware of is the danger represented by viruses that automatically spreads infected links with attractive messages. If you see funny, cool, bad, good messages from people you don't know then is better to avoid the opening of such weblinks. In most cases, many people infects their browsers, computers by doing this. But that's not the single method to infect your computer with a Trojan, worm or virus. For example in file sharing, someone could intentionally send you a virus or a Trojan. That's why you need to be a smart person and install yourself a really good antivirus and also a good anti-spyware software. Yahoo Messenger can be pretty safe since all of their connections are being encrypted but it will make your computer more vulnerable if you don't respect those decent lessons of security.

 

Yahoo Messenger ChangeLog :

 

- Windows 7 compatible

 

- Several bug fixes, including some related to our new video call feature.

 

- High-quality video calls

 

We’ve completely redesigned our 1:1 webcam feature (under the hood too). Now you can make a high-quality video call to a friend with synched audio, right in the IM window. Features include the ability to swap video windows, position the video windows side-by-side, mute the call or place it on hold. You can even go full-screen with your video call. To get started, click the new “Video Call” button in the IM window (your friend also needs to be on Yahoo! Messenger 10)

 

- New “Y! Updates” view of your contact list

 

People are busy these days, doing all sorts of interesting things online. To help you keep up with your friends, we added an alternate view of your contact list that shows a real-time stream of their updates, including Messenger status message changes. If they’ve opted-in to share their updates via Yahoo!, you’ll be able to see what they’re saying on Twitter, reading on Yahoo! Buzz, listening to on last.fm, and more.

 

We also added additional features for how and when you see your friends’ updates. When a new update comes in, a “toast” alert will pop up in the lower right corner of your screen. If you want to disable these, go to Messenger > Preferences > Yahoo! Updates. You can turn alerts on and off and even update preferences by contact or by type of update.

 

- Find more to chat about

 

Within the new “Yahoo! Updates” view, you’re sure to find more to talk about with your friends. To make it easy, we added a hover menu that lets you quickly IM a friend about their update. When you do, the update appears inline in the conversation window, so when you start your IM with “I can’t believe you like this song!”, your friend will know what you’re talking about. Note that your friend needs to also be on Yahoo! Messenger 10 to see the update inline.

 

- Change your language easily

 

If you use the U.S. version but wish it could be in your local language, you’re in luck. When you start up Yahoo! Messenger 10, you’ll notice a new language menu on the sign-in screen. Choose from 16 different languages and the buttons, menus and various parts of the interface will change to that language. If you’re already signed in, you can also change your language under Messenger > Preferences > Language (you’ll have to restart Yahoo! Messenger for it to take effect).
