After installing or upgrading to the new Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal), you might have noticed a new feature - Advertisements from Amazon Store, in the Unity Dash and a new Launcher for Amazon services in the Unity Bar.
If you're not the kind who like all this stuff, then you can surely remove them from your Ubuntu installation. It is pretty simple.
Remove the Amazon Ads from displaying in the Unity Dash:
Open the terminal, and paste the following command...
sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
Remove Amazon Launcher:
Just right-click the Launcher icon and click the "Unlock from Launcher" option, and its gone :)
Now you just need to log out and log back in! The ads are gone :)
