Hi.
Does anybody know what address I have to block through the Hosts file to get rid of the ads?
I have ads.msn.com in there and that’s no good. And no, I don’t think these are cached ads
being displayed. I have MSN Messenger version 6.1.0211. Thanks in advance.No idea, why not just install an Add-on with an ad-blocker included? MsgPlus! has one (just don’t install the sponsor option), and http://www.mess.be should have a few other options as well.

Care to elaborate on what YOU mean? Last time I checked, other than MSN Today, MSN Messenger only ‘displays’ one advert.
Are you looping back to your localhost (127.0.0.1) ?
Open up your Hosts file in Notepad and add the following;
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 adlog.com.com
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ads.msn.com

Paste this list in to your host file and save it.
See, your host file isn’t saved as a .txt, so you would have to open it in note pad. I tried this before, and because it isn’t originally a .txt, you cannot save it.
User, not even near any of these (at all) are displayed in MSN Messenger. If you block all these ads, they will also be blocked in your browsers as well. (and trust me, it sounds nice, but it’s not always the case. Internet explorer doesn’t just remove the ads, but replaces themm with dead link images… FireFox replaces them with “image” images, and so on)

Yes, your host file isnt saved as a txt file but you can still open it with notepad, just right click and click “Open with” or “Open” or whatever other option your configuration has, and when you have the file open and just press save (not save as) it will save it just the way it was.
The 127.0.0.1 ads.msn.com line is probably the only one you need for just MSN ads.
