One of the good option provided with a-patch for yahoo messenger is you can any time undo Remove Advertisements from yahoo messenger and Polygamy ( open multiple instances of yahoo messenger ) any time by selecting the check shown in the image above which says Undo the above options.


A-patch is cool small freeware which does not need to be installed, it works fine with yahoo messenger 8 and I have just tested it with the latest version of yahoo messenger just released i.e 9.0.0.1912.

    I think the patch would work all fine for V.8 only as the ads came back again after sometime in the new version 9

    Try this methode:

    1. exit yahoo messenger
    2. open file hosts from C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\
    3. add 1 line, and write this : 127.0.0.1 insider.msg.yahoo.com
    4. save & close

    Hope its works for you.

    tried it but the ads are still there…weird. i also tested yahoo messenger tweaker 1.3.1.0 and it works but i cant access any plug-ins. anyone knows how to remove ads without me being unable to use the plugins

    LOL!!! The old method of editing the registry works!

    here:
    1. close all yahoo messengers that are running (i mean kill all, not close all)
    2. open regedit
    Start > Run > Type “regedit” (without the quotes)
    3. navigate to:
    HKCU/software/yahoo/pager/locale
    4. look for “Enable Messenger Ad” value
    5. modify the vaule
    1=enable
    0=disable (ofcourse you want it disabled so modify it to 0)
    6. press F5 to refresh registry and close it
    7. open yahoo messenger and it loads faster without the ads (also, it does not steal focus anymore like the beta)

    i forgot also, that the old method of polygamy via registry is still working for me.

  6. Yogi says:

    OMG! It’s Come Back Again!!!!:D

  10. fskreuz says:

    yep, it wont work. it will only be a while and the ads will come back. the newest version is going to be another obstacle for patch makers. it may be different than the others again.

    Fix it Before you Talk About it

    @Fabio

    Make a patch urself! That’s what the comments are used for, to talk about it to help others. If you’re o-so amazing, why are you even here? Better look at the mirror first before you look at others. We all have one thing in common and we can’t make it ourselves.

    this is how you remove the ad in the chat room if you are using the latest version of yahoo messenger. find your host file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ect make sure its not read only first then open it in a text editor . after the line 127.0.0.1 localhost add a new line and put this. 127.0.0.0 chat.yahoo.com ..close it and make it read only.exit messenger and reopen it go in a room the ad will be gone. figured this out myself nothing else worked on the new messenger
