I did not like the way the desktop behaved so I tried to shut it down but before that I see this dialog box ending the program YCP error. That was the first time ever I encountered it, and of course my first thought was maybe there is a spy program here running on the background. So I tried to research for it and see some who had the same question also. I just found one answer then that it is a hidden window used by Yahoo Messenger, the “YCP WSA Listen Window”. WSA can stands for “Windows Sockets API” so the window could be there to “listen” for a connection to the Internet. I did nothing and didn’t see it again either.

I have just deleted my device out of yahoo mobile since I won’t need it that much anymore anyway, for I switched another chip on my phone. But it was really good service from Yahoo! oneSearch™ on mobile, redefining how you use the phone to get info on the go, find just the answers you need with fewer clicks. Yahoo Inc. will provide mobile search services to nine more cell phone operators in Asia, the new partnerships include mobile operators in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Singapore. The company already has seven partnerships the region, including in South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. The latest deals bring Yahoo’s total worldwide distribution partnerships to 20 mobile operators in 19 countries. Yahoo’s announcements come the week after larger rival Google Inc. said it is developing a free mobile software package that will be available in the second half of next year. Called “Android,” Google’s mobile software is designed to make it easier to use the Web over cell phones and other mobile gadgets.
