Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated to adware.
Adware is any software application in which advertising is displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen and sometimes through text links or in integrated search results. Adware may or may not track personal information. It may also gather information anonymously or in aggregate only. Users should check the EULA and Privacy policy to ensure if the adware on their machines conforms to their standards.

Manual
removal:
Open the registry (click 'Start', choose 'Run' and enter 'regedit') and find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Delete the 'AutoUpdater' entry on the right (pointing to aupdate.exe). Find the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID, and delete the subkey '{69550BE2-9A78-11D2-BA91-00600827878D}'. Delete the subkey of the same name from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars, and the entry of the same name from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar.
Restart the computer and you should be able to delete the files 'aupdate.exe', 'aupdate.conf', 'aupdate.trk' and (if it is there) 'aupdate_uninstall.exe' from the System folder. (The System folder can be found inside the Windows folder; it is called 'System32' on Windows NT/2000/XP or just 'System' on Windows 95/98/Me.)
Finally you can restore your normal search settings (Internet Options->Programs->Reset Web Settings) and deal with RapidBlaster and DownloadPlus.
