Thumbs down chat@xolox.nl installed spyware on my computer

After I activated the "chat" link at the xolox.nl page I startet getting popups. I even got popups visiting this forum, and that has never happened before. So, as I always do when I suspect some page has installed spyware on my computer - I ran Ad-aware from lavasoft (as I do automatically every day, the latest is six hours before this happened).
Anyways, the result was that it found two spyware components, "Gator" and "Aureate". They are now deleted and I am not getting popups at gnutellaforums.

I think you guys should take a look at this chat link (http://www.p2pchat.org/xchatstart.htm). Does it or does it not install spyware?
