A-Patch for Yahoo Messenger

A-Patch for Yahoo Messenger is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you remove the ads that are displayed in Yahoo! Messenger and run multiple instances of the program at the same time.
Although the title of the utility may mislead you into thinking that the tool creates patches, it actually adds entries to your Windows registry in order to perform the changes.
It is able to remove the advertisements that are revealed in the Contact List and Chat Room.

Configuration settings

A-Patch for Yahoo Messenger gives you the possibility to create backup files, remember and apply the last used options, as well as automatically restore backups.
What’s more, you are allowed to apply the changes or restore the settings, and provide the location where the Yahoo! Messenger is installed.
The application lets you remove ads from the Contact List, get rid of the ads from the Chat Room, as well as run multiple instances of the Yahoo! Messenger. You can process all the aforementioned options or manually select the actions that you want to activate.
The changes can be applied with a single click. What’s more, you can save the settings to a file so you easily import data in your future projects.
On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for a while so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems. During our tests, it failed several times in detecting the Yahoo! Messenger executable file, so the tool still needs some functionality improvements.

Bottom line

All things considered, A-Patch for Yahoo Messenger provides a simplistic software solution for helping you remove advertisements from your Yahoo! Messenger and chat in a cleaner environment. The intuitive feature pack makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
