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.

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.

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?

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

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.

ypager.exe is the main process belonging to the Yahoo Instant Messenger application, an Internet messaging program. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference
