Safe Shopping Information box pops up

[Sandy]

This morning IE6 started popping up and information box
everytime I press Enter or click on something. Seems like
a virus, but I can't find it. Not in the registry.
Doesn't seem to be set from IE Tools, but here is the
complete message.

"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 good or services. We
automatically identify you as one of our users to these
merchants."

I have not changed, updated or downloaded any software in
the last few days.

To double-check your system - (after using one of the above)

Go to: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct [here]

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates: "hijackthis.log") HijackThis Tutorial
(recommended read)

Next, go to: http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/

Sign in, go to the "Spyware and Hijackware Removal" section.
Press "New Topic", copy and paste hijackthis.log into your new message.

Visiting the SpywareInfo forum to finish cleaning up your system is highly
recommended, as neither Ad-Aware or SpyBot can no longer completely remove
these pests. This is mainly due to new daily threats and the use of random
generated filenames used by these parasites!

You *must* seek updates for AdAware and Spybot before each and every use,
even "right out of the box". Otherwise you're wasting your time.
