"Safe Shopping Features"...

[Guest]

Anytime I open any window (not just in IE, but anywhere), I receive the following pop-up message (which has to be closed each time before continuing with whatever I'm doing)

"As part of the Tools for Internet Explorer, we have now activated Safe Shopping Features for your browser. It provides you with information about merchants we have identified as safe providers of goods or services. We automatically identify you as one of our users to these merchants.

Any suggestions as to what setting will disable this extremely annoying message? Please post a reply if you can help. Thanks!
