icq 2000 ads

Ok, I've noticed something else (don't flame me if I'm blatantly wrong through ;-) )

When I load dirty uin A ('dirty' as in : with the ad window attached) each time I open a message window (double click 
on user in contactlist, pick message from menu etc..), icqateb.ocx is run, as well as icqateres.dll, imm32.dll, 
icqate32.dll and olepro32.dll.
From then on, each time a message window is opened only icqate32.dll, imm32.dll and icqateres.dll are run.

Then I load clean uin B (this is the part I'm not so sure of) and it looks like the libraries I mentioned above aren't 
loaded.... Anyway, I'm just mentioning it, personally I don't believe this to be true. It's just general lameness on 
the matter from my side.

Side note - Some people have told me that this is 'offtopic', well I agree it is. But the initial reason for my post 
was my concern about (possibly) personal information being sent to mirabilis/aol behind our backs. Which I think is 
on-topic and concerns us all.
