It is stupid to block insider.msg.yahoo.com

This server holds no ads that are in messenger

It is the server for..

- Roomlists
- Display pictures
- Yahoo! Insider

I do not recommend you do this.

The trick for hosts.dat file works for sure, but it also blocks yahoo from loading new IMvironments or audibles

The registry tip doesn’t work anymore, maybe because Yahoo changed their code.
