Uninstall Yahoo

[Guest]

I have yahoo pager running on my computer in the background. I would like to
uninstall this, however; it is not listed in add/remove programs and the
Yahoo Program Files folder I have found does not have an 'Uninstall' folder.
How do I uninstall without these?

Hi Lauren,

Reinstall and then uninstal from A/R Programs.

Hi Lauren,

Check for an option to not having the icon load in the System Tray via the
program(s) in question.

Other options for removal:

Go to Start/Run and type in: msconfig. Go to the Startup Tab and uncheck
accordingly. Then run this script to remove the disabled items from the
registry.
