"An Unknown Internet Explorer URL Search Hook Requires Approval"

The Suspect

Each time a user logs in this alert pops up:

.. An Unknown Internet Explorer URL Search Hook Requires Approval
.. ==============================================================
.. Microsoft AntiSpyware has detected an Internet Explorer URL Search
.. Hook trying to be added. A URL Search Hook is used when you type an
.. address in the location field of the browser, but do not include a
.. protocol such as http:// in the address. When you enter such an
.. address, the browser will attempt to figure out the correct protocol
.. on its own, and if it fails to do so, will use the URL SearchHook will
.. attemp to try to find the location you entered.
..
.. Advise: While this is not a known spyware threat, you might want to
.. analyze this program before either allowing or blocking it.

I restored default settings in advanced tools, but the alert still pops up.
What are my options?
