It is not adaware...It seems to me that you have installed the OPTIONAL sponser program. It is JUST a toolbar in internet explorer....To uninstall the sponser program go to start>settings>add/remove programs and select Messenger Plus! in the list..Then run the set up again. On step 3 it asks do you want to install the sponser program..Select no.....You still get the full version of the program without installing the OPTIONAL sponser...
