I think you will find that this is part of the ad-ware plug ins that you install when you click ADD-ONS, so only remove if you no longer wish to use the plugin any more.

Are you sure it says ad ware and not AdAware?
AdAware is a respected anti-spyware program that does offer some plug-ins for their basic program.
