RE: Ads
It is quite easy to disable the ads, and I'll be honest, I did it with no regrets: it's a VERY subtle way to embed ads in your software. As a developer myself, I think the end-user HAS to be alerted that he will be receiving ads messages, and he should also be able to choose not to receive them.

Just open up the file MsgPlusForSkypeService.exe located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Yuna Software\Messenger Plus! for Skype (or wherever you've installed it) with a hex editor, search for the following sequences of bytes:

(You might have to kill the process in task manager if it's running)

Search:
69 00 65 00 78 00 70 00 6C 00 6F 00 72 00 65 00
Replace with:
61 00 73 00 64 00 66 00 67 00 68 00 6A 00 6B 00

Search:
66 00 69 00 72 00 65 00 66 00 6F 00 78 00
Replace with: 6A 00

Search:
63 00 68 00 72 00 6F 00 6D 00 65 00
Replace with:
61 00 73 00 64 00 66 00 67 00 68 00

After replacing, save the file and run it again. No more ads, yay!
