Closest I could get was this link.

If not that, could it be malware. If you think so, then this best ever sticky will help

Notorious,

Have you tried using HijackThis to get rid of this annoyance?

There are other threads on the Forums here that will explain about that proggie... it is very good for stopping crap like that loading up in IE.
Best thing to do is post the HijackThis log here and we can tell you what to get rid of if you're not sure.
