M Y! Banner Killer

M Y! Banner Killer is an application aimed at Yahoo Messenger users who want to get rid of the advertisement displayed in the main window of the program.

As you definitely know if you're one of the many Yahoo Messenger users, this popular instant messaging solution comes with a flashy advertisement that's displayed right in the contact list.

That's why M Y! Banner Killer's purpose is so important: it attempts to remove the ad and, as a bonus, to also offer users a very interesting pack of features.

The somewhat unprofessional-looking main window is the one that takes care of everything, letting you kill the aforementioned banners, but also enable auto login, remember ID and password, auto delete message archive and history.

There are no other configuration settings to play with, and that's only good news for beginners, but you still need to provide the path to Yahoo Messenger.

One of the drawbacks is that M Y! Banner Killer doesn't come with a backup utility, so in case something goes wrong, you have no other option than to reinstall the messaging application.

The good thing on the other hand is that it works smoothly on all Windows versions. Still, administrator privileges are needed on Windows 7, otherwise the program doesn't launch.

All things considered, M Y! Banner Killer is indeed a handy project, although more work needs to be done here. It serves its purpose however and requires only minimum computer experience.
