Remove Ads from skype

The following steps will help to remove Ads from your skype:

Step1:
From Control Panel, Click on Internet Options, Click on the Security tab and select the Restricted Sites icon.
Press the Sites button and type apps.skype.com in the text box, then press Add.

Step 2:
Remove the Ad Placeholder
go to the path C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\Skype.
Note:- AppData is a hidden folder. So you need to give the above path in explorer
You’ll then need to open the folder that’s titled with your Skype ID and find an XML file called config. Right-click that file and choose to open it with Notepad.
Press Ctrl + F to use the Find function to search for AdvertPlaceholder. You should find a piece of code that reads <AdvertPlaceholder>1</AdvertPlaceholder> — change that 1 to a 0 and you will remove the placeholder from your Skype interface.

Restart Skype for the changes to take effect
