A coworker of mine was just complaining about the annoying ads in Live Messenger – here’s how to fix it Close Live Messenger and all IE instances Open your hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) with Notepad Add the following line (this redirects requests for the MSN ad server to your local computer) 127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com #Live messenger ads Save your hosts file Restart Messenger That’s it – no more ads Should you ever want the ads back, or need access to rad.msn.com for some reason, simply remove the line (or comment out the line with a leading #)
