Remove ICQ Ads

More evil genius, straight from the bent minds at Evil Avatar, here’s how to remove ICQ Ads:

Delete the following .dll files in your /ICQ directory:

icqateima32.dll (removes advertisement downloading)
icqateimg32.dll (removes the loading of images)
icqateres.dll (removes part of the advertisement function)

This should make ICQ run a little faster, but the missing ads make ICQ a little uglier.
