I heard one of the ads again and shut down AIM as soon as I could. The ad stopped instantly so the ads are coming from AIM.

[DISCLAIMER] I don't know if this will work. I do a lot of stupid things without thinking about it first. SO DO THE FOLLOWING AT YOUR OWN RISK!

To fix it using notepad, I opened up the advert.ocm file in the AIM directory and deleted everything. I saved it and made it read only. If anyone else wants to do this make sure you back the file up first. To prove how foolish I am, I didn't think about backing it up until after I saved the modifications. Smart huh?

So far so good. Haven't heard any ads yet but I will have to see how it goes.
