Does anybody know why some people are getting them while others aren't?
They were on some automatic install for me, appearing only two days ago and are quite clearly using my conversations to find out what to advertise. Furthermore, does anybody know if there's a way to get rid of it? I know they already spy on me, but I'd prefer if they didn't flaunt it like that. This is quite an eyesore.

If you mean the text/banner ads on messenger u can remove them by installing "messpatch" from www.mess.be
A part of my MSN changed, more stupid things I'll never use got added. And all the advertisements are offering me online degrees, most likely because I talk about my uni and the workload... Another friend said he got a totally different set of things.
I'll check out mess.be. Thanks.
The way I see it is the advertising is done on randomisation. Each window when launched is allocated adverts to show and change at a time interval and there could be thousands so that is why not everyones screen shows the same or at least not two peoples screens would show the same advert at the same time. When i use MSN i do not talk about flying around the world but adverts come up saying about cheap flights so i would not worry that MSN are spying on you guys.
And the patches I found on mess.be seemed to be for an earlier version of 7.5, at least I couldn't install it. I'm hovering around the site though, ready to jump if I see newer ones.
Have you tried A-Patch? It's similar to the Mess Patch.
