How do I remove the ads that suddenly appeared in Yahoo IM. In the actual message window, not the main list?

how do I
W asked:


I was messaging someone today and I noticed my windows would not resize the same way they usually do – really small – and I noticed why… I now have two-lined advertisements at the bottom of my message window. I don’t mean the window with the contacts, I usually close that out so its not so bothersome. How do I get rid of it? Was there an update that I wasn’t aware of (or alerted for)?
