How to make ICQ2000a or 2000b free of those annoying banner ads.

From TaligentX.com

Instructions:

• Download the modified ICQCore.dll for your version of ICQ (check what you have by clicking the ICQ button -> Help -> About).
• Close ICQ.
• Go to your ICQ directory and rename icqcore.dll to something else (like icqcoreoriginal.dll) - this will be your backup.
• Unzip the new ICQCore.dll into the ICQ directory.
• Go to Start -> Run, and run regedit
• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Mirabilis -> ICQ -> DefaultPrefs.
  Change AutoUpdate to "No".
• Browse to your ICQ directory, and then to the Partner directory (only present if you've been getting the SMS banner)
• Find partner.xml and open it up in notepad. Delete everything there and save the file. Right click the file after saving -> Properties, and make the file read-only.
• Startup ICQ and enjoy your banner free lifestyle :)
