6. Yahoo! Toolbar 8.1.0.51 Build 2009.9.20.2 (for IE 5.5+ - 28th sept 2009) - ad-supported

This software will be installed as an addon to IE 5.5+.
I am not a fun to installing toolbars and lots of addons because of their needs of memory resources and for lots of bugs that can they provoke.
But is your choice and not mine.
It depends of every experience. If i see some unusual stuff i will tell them.

It includes a search box, bookmark support, spyware removal and anti-spy and a popup blocker, check your yahoo e-mail and more.

I marked it as ad-supported because at instalation it will try to change the homepage for browsers installed and will try to change the search engine also.

Note: 4/5 (adware - not a bad thing, but it exists and you must know)

7. Yahoo! Widget Engine 4.5.2 Build 10A50 (23rd oct 2008) - ad-supported

It used to be called Konfabulator and it is an widget engine who let's you personalise your desktop with things you like (wifi signal, calculator, calendar, weather ...etc).
Widgets are among us from a long time already so you know what they do, they ease our work or needs. It is up to our computer performance and memory if they are present on desktop every minute. But let's not think about that. I think at the minimum configurations from today it is no problem to run such thing.

Widgets have a nice design and are fully personalisable. They are open formats and if you want you can learn and create your own. You can change the look, feeling, functionality and others so it matches to your personality.

So, what are you waitin'?

Let me know about problems, i didn't find any till now.

Yes it's ad-supported too, but you can choose whether to make or not their default search engine and homepage, so it's not so bad. As long as we have choice we must understand that free software must be suported some way.
Nothing can be free without some support.
What is wrong is... when we don't know.

9. Yahoo Auto Reply 3.0 (17 apr 2006 - last update) - ad-supported

This still a simple application.
Unpack files in self extracting archive (make sure you make a new folder, there are 3 files),
Use the options in the screen and make your answering machine work for you.

I marked it as ad-supported because it displays some commercials while its running.
