There's no such thing as a legal hack to remove the adverts.  Removing the adverts violates the terms of use for Windows Live Messenger.

As for why the advert is re-appearing, I'd suggest trying to re-apply your skin patch and see if this helps with it.

The adverts on WLM haven't changed to my knowledge, it could just be different depending on what region you're in, but they should be the same as they always have been
