This is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Will "Willz" Ingles returns with his new and improved Windows Aero Messenger. The skin has undergone a lot of change since its previous version, Windows Aero Messenger now incorporates Vista Live Messenger as part of its design so users can now switch between both by just changing one option.

Really nice,but why every skin now requires Messenger Plus! Live :-( I remember when you only needed to download and patch something.

And you really believe if you choose that you don't install any adware? How does it stay alive and free? eh?

I know,but there is a lot I don't need from Messenger plus and most skins don't remove ads :-(

The ones I download come with a registry file in which you can remove the ads.

I can assure you that Plus! does not contain spyware, adware, or any sort of badware that would keep you from installing it.

Patchou isn't the type.

The point of adware is to show you an ad and get your attention. Therefore, if you don't see ads plastered onto your screen, and have Messenger Plus installed, then chances are that no, you didn't install any adware.

Although this is pretty cool, it's a bit overwhelming how many options there are and a bit of a pain having to restart WLM every time I make a change.

Plus, it adds the advertisement and all sorts of other things that I removed with a-patch back.

Are you talking to me?

Cause as far as I know my job is to try to save your or anybody life,not to look up to remove anything to remove...that is way the world has a balance otherwise...

lets stick to what each one suppose to do...and by the time I will wait till somebody who has the job will fix ;-)

Have a nice day!!

i have a question. if you look at his screenshot on this http://www.msgpluslive.net/skins/view/54-W...Aero-Messenger/
there are no ads, but it makes the ad reshow up on ours, even if he took them off with a-patch.

How do you use this skin without the ads? I really like it. The ads just bother me
