Disable Windows Messenger From Appearing When You Open Outlook Express

Many users opt not to use Microsoft Windows Messenger for their instant
messenger program. Despite the fact that Microsoft Windows XP users have
turned off the auto-start feature of Windows Messenger, it continues to
open when Microsoft Outlook Express is used.
It should be noted that this only occurs on systems running Microsoft
Windows XP. Other versions of Microsoft Windows do not experience this.
Here's what the plug-in looks like.
If you have disabled Windows Messenger's auto-start function, and you'd
like it to remain closed while using Outlook Express, we have created a
plug-in which will allow you to prevent Windows Messenger from starting
when Outlook Express launches. The plug-in allows you to switch between
disabling and enabling Windows Messenger's auto-launch status when opening
Outlook Express. When Windows Messenger is disabled, you may also notice
faster load times when opening Outlook Express.

Does this mean that the Plug-in is Adware? or Ad Aware tested and passed?

This doesn't happen on my system - am I doing something wrong?
