Yahoo! Messenger Update
This is an update. I uninstalled the new version of Yahoo! Messenger with Voice just to find out, if what I really wrote last night about Yahoo! Messenger, XHTML, PHP, WordPress, YM, Yahoo! 360, was accurate, having no option not to include the Yahoo! Toolbar and Yahoo! Browser Services during the installation.
I found out that you actually have the option not to include the Yahoo! Toolbar and Yahoo! Browser Services during the installation. I just overlooked it. You can actually choose between “Typical Install” and “Custom Install”.
If you accept the “Typical Install”, Yahoo! Messenger with Voice is not the only one which will be installed but it will also install the Yahoo! Toolbar and Yahoo! Browser Services and you don’t really know what you’re going to have. Well, I saw it and it’s not really bad but I prefer not to have the Yahoo! Toolbar and Yahoo! Browser Services. I also have some apprehension, I don’t know what other softwares have been installed when I used the “Typical Install”. Just a thought!
If you don’t want to use the “Typical Install” you can use “Custom Install” where you are given the option what to install especially if you don’t want the Yahoo! Toolbar and Yahoo! Browser Services.
What if you did what I did, used the “Typical Install”? Then, you just uninstall the Yahoo! Toolbar, the links are in my previous entry. But after I uninstalled the Yahoo! Toolbar, I opted to uninstall the Yahoo! Messenger with Voice for the reason that I already stated above.
If you want to uninstall the Yahoo! Messenger with Voice, well, the process is just like the one on how to uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar, Option 2, by going to the Control Panel.
Instead of writing how to do it, I’d rather give you the links at the Yahoo! Messenger Help.

Hi… what appears in Add/Remove Programs Listing is just the icon with text Yahoo! Messenger, “with Voice” is not included.
Another way of uninstalling Yahoo! Messenger is to do it manually. Here’s the link:
