I am doing an investigation/triage and have previously been notified by another source that Yahoo messenger file transfers have taken place on several machines without the user's knowledge. I take a look at one of the machines that supposedly transferred files via Yahoo IM and it does not even have Yahoo messenger installed on the system.

I was wondering if the user may be using Yahoo Messenger for the Web, but I am not sure what artifacts and where to look. Was wondering if anyone had any insight?

If you search the Forum you'll find some threads. Here is one.

You could also install and test it to see where artifacts will be stored; basic ingenuity.
