The programs's main executable is yahoomessenger.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU of less than one percent, and utilizes about 64.79 MB of memory. It also adds an icon to the Windows notifications area in order to provide access to the program. The software installer includes 83 files and is usually about 563 KB (576,512 bytes).
