Such information may include the following: version number; unique identifier numbers that allow us to distinguish between different computers, Yahoo! Central settings, default Internet and browser settings, version number of Yahoo! software installed, and number of changes made.
- Yahoo! Central will contact Yahoo! servers at regular intervals to verify that the most recent version of Yahoo! software is installed and will prompt you if they aren't. Please note that Yahoo! Central currently doesn't check for updates to some Yahoo! software such as Flickr Uploadr or ActiveX tools.
- Yahoo! Central monitors for changes to the browser home page and default Internet settings, including email and search.
