you cant block insider.msg.yahoo.com if you want to get in a chat room.. insider.msg.yahoo.com is also used to get the room list. if you want to get rid of the ads in the chat rooms. block chat.yahoo.com. add 127.0.0.0 chat.yahoo.com to your host file.. if you look your yahoo cache folder youll see urls.xml in there youll see
thats the url yahoo uses for the chat room ads.just block it. this works on the new messenger.i tried all the reg changes and other tips posted on the web none of them worked for the new messenger so i had to find my own way.
127.0.0.1 insider.msg.yahoo.com works good if you dont use the chat rooms
