Would you have looked at it different if that is how it was done ?
At the same time please keep in mind that adware is not actual illegal software but is also operating in the grey area as it's usually designed to take advantage of those from who you are superior (in other words, the stupid surfers)
If you deal with the law then you have to be very specific if you start specifying certain things. In this case it seems to be neither allowed nor disallowed.

If any promotional tactic is not illegal and not specified as not welcome in the program's terms, then yes - sales generated are to be paid out. In your example, if the adware isn't illegal, he should be paid (though obviously posting a thread about that situation would likely garner him a lot less support).
