    definitly spyware, after you use adaware disable install on demand so it dosn't put itself back in.

    It´s spyware and yes ADadware wil remove it, but some programs like say KAzaa wil refuse to work after the spy ware has beeen removed. I removed tons of spyware from the (l)users at my work and after that Kazaa had to be reinstalled.
