   8.1.0.239 is the latest version. I haven’t tried the software on that. Maybe we’ll have to wait for an update.

   Until then, have you tried the manual method ?

   My Ad Destroy 3.0 is similar to the ad remover above but has the ability to patch 8.1.0.239 and the latest 8.1.0.244 builds of the US Yahoo! messenger.

   Get it at http://shadow-corp.net

   I quite don’t like to register before downloading stuff. It turns me off.

   Well a five minute registration is not much to ask for no more ad’s

   It’s free and my site has a lot more to offer than just the ad remover like over 600 arcade games, photo gallery…etc

   Plus a chance to get updated Versions of the ad remover.

   Well, I still haven’t tried it out. Once I do, maybe I’ll be sure that its worth the trouble of a registration.

    Well, just registered and downloaded the small utility to patch up Y!M. I am using Y!M 8.1.0.209 and the patch just showed up an error asking me to contact you.

    And Dermot, you’ve done a nice job on the site.

    I updated the Ad Destroy since to patch the newest 8.1.0.244 Build

    I believe the error you got is when you already have the urls.xml as read only

    the new update should fix this…let me know sunny.

    Thanks tom,sunny,

    And just to make it clear the patch only patches the US version

    I don’t use the UK as it doesn’t have a chat option.

    I’m currently also working on Ad Destroy 3.1

    It will allow you to save the blank.html for camera ads to stop lag and also allow you to disable filters, emable polygamy and enable Tabbed IM’s in Yahoo Messenger.

    Anything else you would like to see in it, let me know here or my site.

    I use the US version. I saw the attributes and they weren’t read-only.

    But yes, I will try downloading the latest version and let you know.

    I just reuploaded it

    I noticed the urls directory was stuck at c which is now changed

    also added a custom path for it also under c+

    its just uploaded, let me know if you have the same issues.

15. Sunny Says:
    March 16th, 2007 at 8:28 pm

    Dermot, it worked like a charm!
    Just one suggestion though - change the “C+” to “Dir”. That way, its easier to identify

    Tom, great job. That really ticked me off. Was about to add an update to the post and include your link, but now that you’ve showed your real self, I have no intentions of doing that.

    PS - if its anything, I was talking about the registration at Dermot’s site.

    Dermot, I’ve updated the post and added your link. Hope to never again see those ads in Messenger!

    Will do, glad it worked now

18. Dermot Says:
    March 16th, 2007 at 9:32 pm

    Should show Directory + now

    Thanks for the feedback and helping with the issues sunny.

    Uploaded Ad Destroy 3.1
    Has some other new options besides patching the latest 8.1.0.249 build
    You can now do the following also..
    Enable Polygamy
    Enabled Tabbed IM’s (buggy on yahoo’s side)
    Disable WordFilter properly (yahoo still didn’t fix)
    Toggle nicknames on/off in chat

    

    Also started Ad Destroy .NET for vista users
    Will let you know when completed.

    how fucking lame…. it really annoys me when people want registration just to download a file… it bugs me even more that the first link leads to a site where the file isn’t hosted!… so I had to jump through the hoops twice… well I got the file and it works, so 10/10 for your good work but minus several million for style

    Is it just me or does clicking that destruction link say it doesn’t like this site and throws you back here when you click it?
