There is/was an AIM hack that I put on my kid's PC to block those annoying ads. It worked quite well. However, that was sometime last summer. I don't remember the name of the hack, tho. You might Google "AIM" "ad" "hack" "remove" or something like that.
This particular hack also let you remove other annoying parts of the interface. I personally use MSN Messenger with the MsgPlus add-on. M!ke -----Original Message----- From: C.

Anyone know how to disable that ad? I'm sure that if you look hard enough you can find the source of that ad by domain name. Once you find it you could put an entry in your HOSTS file to redirect that domain to 127.0.0.1 which would effectively kill all traffic for it. However, I'd still say use Trillian, GAIM or any number of other alternate IM clients.
