UPDATE: Check this new Ad Remover which works for all Yahoo! Messenger versions:
Ad Destroy: Disable and Remove All Unwanted ADs from Yahoo! Messenger
======================================================
Following 2 methods can be used to remove ADs from the new Yahoo! Messenger 8 and 8.1:
A. Remove the BIG AD from the Main yahoo! screen, where we see our Buddy List:
1. Open "%Programfiles%\Yahoo!\Messenger\YahooMessenger.exe" file into a Hex Editor. You can use XVI32, its free.
2. Go to the offset 3981AC (or 3A1250 for the latest 8.1 version) and change the string "enabled" to anything you want.
B. Remove other ADs like in chat window, webcam, etc.:
1. Open notepad and paste the following code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\YUrl]
"First Login Beacon"="*"
"Tutorials"="*"
"Messenger Help"="*"
"Voice General Help"="*"
"Change Room Banner"="*"
"Address Book"="*"
"Finance Disclaimer"="*"
"Messenger Ad"="*"
"Chat Adurl"="*"
"Calendar Alert Ad URL"="*"
"Conf Adurl"="*"

"Webcam Viewer Ad Big"="*"
"Webcam Viewer Ad"="*"
"Webcam Upload Ad"="*"
"Chat Transition Ad"="*"
"N2Phone Adurl"="*"
"Webcam Viewer Ad Bid"="*"
2. Save the file with the name "VG.REG"
3. Run the file and merge it into registry.

hi vishal...
i have done the above steps for yahoo ver 8 (final), but i seem to have lost the audibles and IMvironments... how can i get them back?
VG
^^ The hack has nothing to do with audibles and IMVironments. May be you must have changed some other hex location?
Look in the Yahoo! folder and if you find a backup file of yahoo! messenger EXE, then replace new edited file with old one.

i guess i messed up something.. and where do u find the back up file?
VG
Look into the same folder "%Programfiles%\Yahoo!\Messenger\", there should be a backup file with the name like:
YahooMessenger_backup.exe
YahooMessenger.exe.backup
YahooMessenger_original.exe
etc. You need to do is, delete the new hacked "YahooMessenger.exe" file and then rename the backup file with "YahooMessenger.exe"

VG
You need latest Flash Player installed in your system to use Yahoo! audibles. You can get it from http://www.adobe.com
