Graham, OK, many thanks - it certainly sounds like she will be quite safe to get these uninstalled.

This is in fact a messenger program used for chat like Windows Messenger or MS Messenger so if she doesn't use this then certainly remove it. In fact you do not need to install any BT software in order to get products like BT home Hub working well. I have generally taken this advice so I must say I am not sure which other BT programs get installed. Maybe someone else can give more precise advice here.

I'm trying to assist a lady to clean out her system of things that she isn't likely to use. In doing so, I came across an application called "Yahoo Messenger" which is obviously loading on start up as it is always present after booting up. I am guessing that this is an application that is part of the BT Yahoo Applications which is listed in the "Add/remove programmes" section of the Control Panel. My problem is that I don't know what else is in the BT Yahoo Applications. Does anyone out there know if it is OK to uninstall this application without damaging the BT internet connection? Alternatively, do you know any easy way to stop Yahoo Messenger from loading at all - it is not listed in the "Start Up" group on the "Programmes" menu.
