Is there any way to block AOL Instant Messenger ADS???

[MadMax350]

I am using AIM v5.5.3572. I would like to know how to disable the ads that appear in the window above the buddy list because now AOHell is making movie preview videos pop-up in there that you can't get rid of, are always on top of other windows, and are quite frankly annoying!

If there is no way to disable these ads, is there another "free" messenger program I can download that will communicate with my AOL buddies?

its a free program that will access AOL,ICQ,MSN,IRC and YAHOO all at once. Very nice and easy to use Ad-free too I think.
I think that link is right.. if not google it sure you will find it.
