How do you block the ads that came to Skype?

There is a way to do it in the hosts file:
Hi folks,

Again no recipee to block the Microsoft driven ads inside Skype. Anyone?
Any beyond this:
127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com
127.0.0.1 g.msn.com
127.0.0.1 live.rads.msn.com
127.0.0.1 ads1.msn.com
127.0.0.1 static.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ac3.msn.com
127.0.0.1 ec.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1 msntest.serving-sys.com
127.0.0.1 sO.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 aka-cdn-ns.adtech.de
127.0.0.1 secure.flashtalking.com
127.0.0.1 cdn.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1 flex.msn.com
127.0.0.1 ad-emea.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 *.rad.msn.com
127.0.0.1 *.adnxs.com
127.0.0.1 *.msads.net
127.0.0.1 *.ads2.msads.net
But that list is not complete, and sometimes you won’t (some of) these addresses unblocked in the browser.

SkypeAdKiller is not a permanent solution either.
What is the peferred way? Anyone?
