why does my yahoo messenger show as installed on my laptop on 3/24/08 even though i purchased it new in 6/08?

Q: ive also found other files/documents that were created much earlier,what could be the reason for this? i understand some applications being installed at the factory,but why would it show yahoo mesenger as installed before the date of purchase?yahoo messenger isnt a application that was pre installed i understand some applications being installed at the factory,but why would it show yahoo mesenger as installed before the date of purchase?yahoo messenger isnt a application that was pre installed

A: This is correct, when it shows it was "made" on the 24/3/2008 as in the exe program itself was released, and modified on that date. This shouldn't be of concern, as there isn't a way to view when the program was installed. Conclusion: It is showing when the exe was made, not when it was installed.
