What is Yawhoz! ?

 Yawhoz! is the first Yahoo List Detector on the internet, which means that you can check an entire list of ids at once and see if your friends are truly offline or if they are invisible.

Is this checker secure?

Yes. We provide full security and privacy. The people you checked will never know they were checked. Also, noone will have acces to your checked ID's and will not be published.

Yawhoz! List Detector is free?

Yes, our status checker tool is absolutely free and anybody can use it.

I see an ID online but the site shows it invisible. What's wrong?

That user is available for a group of people, but invisible for rest.

How can it detect invisibles?

Our site is using Yahoo bots scripts that are connected to Yahoo! Messenger servers and use a bug in the Yahoo! Messenger protocol to detect invisible and offline users.

I want to detect invisible users in other networks than Yahoo!, What should I do?

This site is only for Yahoo! Messenger and just can detect Yahoo! Messenger invisible users.

Can I check the IDs I do not have in my list? 

Yes, Yawhoz! is capable of detecting whether status ( offline - online – invisible ) of any ID even if you do not have it on your own Yahoo messenger list, you just need a valid Yahoo Messenger ID.

Do I have to pay for this service? 

NO, Yawhoz! is FREE for everybody. We therefore ask you to invite all your friends to use it.

Does Yawhoz! can take control over a messenger account?

NO, absolutely not, reading a person's status has nothing to do with the security of your or his messenger account. It is just like giving an ID to a friend do add you to his list.

How well are my data protected?

The algorithm used does not require you to log in into your messenger account, therefore we DO NOT have access to your name and password. The account that you create on Yawhoz! has nothing to do with our Yahoo! account. Also, your login credentials and checked ID's are encrypted in our database, so noone can have access to them, even if they whould have access to our database (which is imposibile, too)

Can you find Yahoo IDs' passwords?

No,This site is only for detecting the status offline - online – invisible of an Yahoo Messenger ID.

How many Yahoo IDs can I check per day?

There's no limit for checking Yahoo IDs and detecting invisibles for now.

I scanned a Yahoo! ID and it answered me "Server busy".

Scan that Yahoo! Mess ID for more times and if the problem persists, it means we are either upgrading our system or our or Yahoo’s servers are busy, so you should try a few minutes later.

How accurate is the scan?

Our site is accurate 99% of the times. It's better to scan a Yahoo ID for more than once to be sure about his/her status.
