At the end of your MSN name put *naf or *unicef... (National AIDS Foundation and UNICEF)
All it does is put a little "i'm" icon beside your name and Microsoft donates part of the advertising proceeds to the charity of your choice... everyone should definitely do it because it's not too much of a hindrance to you, and it does some good.
All charity choices here... I chose AIDS.
