Oh right. I assumed that because of StuffPlug removing the ad banner in the contact list that it did edit the exe, and that was why it was removed from Plus! (Probably got my wires crossed)
Removing stuff like that can also be done in memory (this is called soft-patching, apposed to hard-patching which does alter the exe).
It wasn't removed because it was "illegal" so to speak, but because of the reasons you can read in the sticky thread here: "
'MSN advertisement banner' removal".
TB removed the banner-removal in StuffPlug for pretty much the same reasons.
