OK new to this forum so excuse me if I break protocol

I downlaoded the new adobe reader (version 9) and also clicked ok for the ADOBE DLM Active X
After download completed, I noticed the following programs added to my system

Acrobat.com
Adobe Reader 9
Adobe Reader 9 installer
Adobe Air
getPlus for ADOBE

Obviously reader9 I wanted. But the acrobat.com and adobe air I do not want.I also got something called getPlus for Adobe which comes from NOS Microsystems so thats not part of adobe.

Questions-
1 Did I pull down some malice?
2. What is getPlus and who is NOS Microsystems and are they part or partner with ADOBE?
3. I really only wantreader 9 so can I delete Acrobat.com;
   Adobe Reader 9 installer; Adobe Air; and getPlus for ADOBE?
4. If I delete these above items, will my reader 9 still be secure?
