O.P. [SOLVED] Odd advertisements in contact list
Hi everyone,
so I got this list of random advertisements I'd never click as you can see in the image below:

I'm not sure if they appeared with Messenger Plus, I haven't found a way to disable them, so if anyone knows if this list can be turned off, I would be very thankful! :)

These are "the tabs", an old feature from Windows Live Messenger itself. You can disable them in Tools [press alt in your contact list screen if your menu bar is not showing] > Options > Layout > Show tabs [or something like that, posting from mobile]

They're not with Messenger Plus!, but in fact are just 'tabs' Windows Live Messenger has.

To disable them: go to Tools > Options > Contacts, and deselect 'Show the tab bar'.

I've seen this option before but I would've never thought about this "tabs" option being related to that ad-list, so I never tried it out.

You're both right, thanks for the quick help :)
