    Yes it is safe. Don't worry, it's YAHOO we are talking about here.

    Just use aim, it's better ;P or hotmail because pretty much most people have hotmail. Yahoo Messenger (YIM) is mainly for family friends..

    But if you want to start rolling with the big doggs, then I recommend AIM and HOTMAIL.

    Don't download software from warez or illegal site, because sometimes the software included with trojan or viruses that can harm your computer or steal your precious information

    Well, why would someone download Yahoo Messenger on a Warez site whereas they can download it directly from Yahoo, free of charge.

    Yahoo messenger is totally safe for chatting with any where like cyber or any other thing.Becoz after completed your chatting & you log out your history was deleted automatically and don’t remember your password for any other PC or Laptop.

    1. You must install antivirus program like kaspersky or AVG or other trust-antivirus program
    2. Install yahoo messenger via online.

    If you following my step above, you're safe.

    Unless you use it to conduct financial transactions and other confidential stuff, it is safe.
