I think you've maybe confused this with some other application. There's no mention in the Spybot TOS about it installing its own adware. There are lots of untrustworthy bogus anti-spyware applications with very similar names doing the rounds that do do that sort of thing - here's a list of some of them: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_...e.htm#products
but you'll see that Spybot isn't one of them.
