Great instant messaging experience

Yahoo Messenger is a very popular instant messaging client. To be able to start this program all that is required to be done is to create a Yahoo account. This procedure is completely free. The moment you register, download and then install the client you can get in touch with other members of the Yahoo community without any type of cost.

This version of Yahoo Messenger has many top notch features such as radio, games, stock tracker, weather, calendar, chat, email and user management functions. The application after is installed will take on your hard drive approximately 11 MB. The main interface of the program is a buddy list from which you can very easily get in touch with all of your friends. The application allows you to share photos, games or any other type of media content.

To add a name in the list you can either enter a Yahoo ID or a Yahoo e-mail address. This application supports two types of voice conversation: using the hands free mode, or via the talk button. Video can be handled depending on your Internet connection. If you have a fast one you can easily use super webcam mode. However if your Internet connection is no so great then you can choose to use the standard webcam mode.

This version of Yahoo Messenger is easy to install. All that is needed to be done is to follow the installation wizard. Since the installation file is not very big the installation process certainly that will not take to long.

Good:

- many customization options
- ability to share multimedia content with your friends
- video and audio chat

Bad:

- plenty of ads
- not the best security level
