What is this file? - yinsthelper.dll?

I recently installed Explorer ver.7 Beta 2 and noticed that Yahoo did something right after. Is this a legit file or a tag-along pest?
Thanks, any advice is welcome.

That file is like " Yahoo install helper" . dll and was used to up-date Yahoo to your new IE browser. If all is working it may be dumped. Where did you find it, in a temp folder or down load folder? Still, was used for the up-date and now (if all Yahoo services have been up-dated) is just another left over .dll.
