I know little about this file. But, when I start my BT! Yahoo browser and nothing happens, stopping this process will make the browser open immediately. (Before I would have to restart the computer.)

You will find that yahoo VERY often hides its applications, such as this one so that users cannot uninstall them, that alone tells me that Yahoo products are spyware.

All I know is that my computer starts running at 100%CPU from this thing. I end the process and everything is fine and I am still on yahoo with no interruptions which makes me wonder if it really is yahoo. If it was, wouldn't it close the window?

I have SBC/Yahoo DSL which includes a large collection of files and programs

Deleting this file is essential if you see it running after you open Internet Explorer.
