MSN Messenger 7 is out...

...now lets get rid of that annoying advert at the bottom of the screen

To remove the banner add from the bottom of messenger you need to add a like to your "host" file. This lives in a deferent place depending on your version of windows.

Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98\ME = C:\WINDOWS

Simply locate the host file and open it with notepad. then on a new line type in rad.msn.com

Save the host file and your done.
