SweetIM has been shown by many users to be spyware, adware, or some other form of malware, but it's not been picked up by any of the software I, personally, have scanned with (Avast! Pro, Clamwin, MalwareBytes).

The software provides no uninstaller, but it is removable through the add or remove programs dialog, according to most sources.
