Remove Ads From Windows Live Messenger Registry Edit

| Wednesday, September 10, 2008
This is manual way how to remove Ads from Windows Live Messenger. All you need to do just by pass the way ads appear in WML to "uncorrect" address. Usually the Ads came from this url rad.msn.com. To remove that Ads just drive the WML not to the default ads by controling host file. Here the steps that you must do to remove ad of WML though editing host file:

* First, find you host file, Microsoft Windows (NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista) is located in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc by default.
* Second, open Notepad.exe as administrator (and with elevation if you use Vista and UAC) choose File > Open... and navigate to the host file (make sure you show all files) and open it. It's called "hosts" without a file extension.
* Now add the following new line at the end of the file: "0.0.0.0 rad.msn.com". Save the file and close Notepad.
After that you may need to do such this job if the ads blocker not work:

You need to flush the DNS cache for this to take immediate effect, and it can be done by opening the command prompt Cmd.exe (as administrator) and type "ipconfig /flushdns"
Now restat you WML and chat with no ads on it.
