Yahoo Messenger remains a very popular instant messenger and although it comes with many great features, users are still bothered by the advertisement displayed in the main window, but also by the fact that they can only login with one ID at a time.

If this is your case too, meet Yahoo Ghost!, a software solution developed to solve these problems with just a few clicks.

Yahoo Ghost! is not the first application that promises to remove the advertisement shown in the contact list, but this particular one could do a much better job on newer versions of Yahoo Messenger.

The developer says it supports all releases newer than 7.5 and we can confirm that it indeed works with most Yahoo Messenger versions and on all Windows flavors, including 7, be it 32- or 64-bit.

Yahoo Ghost! automatically removes the annoying advertisements we were talking about, but it also allows you to run multiple instances of the application, so that you will be able to login with multiple IDs at the same time.

In addition, Yahoo Ghost! comes with two more options to remember the Yahoo Messenger password and to load the instant messaging client on startup, although these two settings are also available in the tool developed by Yahoo.

One of the things we discovered during our test was that Yahoo Ghost! doesn’t remove the ad entirely, but only the animation, so you will still be able to click on it. However, you won’t be bothered by animations or flashes anymore.

Overall, Yahoo Ghost! is quite a handy tool if you use Yahoo Messenger on a regular basis and since it’s free, it is worth at least a try.
