ICQ, recently acquired by America Online, has succumed to the fad of inserting banner advertising attached to its functions.

If you use ICQ, and you find these banner ads annoying, you can now follow some online instructions to remove them, at this website: http://zen.blacknova.org/ICQ/index.htm

Note: this will change some of the tags on ICQ buttons to be more "customised". You have been warned!
