It's spyware.
You can probably remove it with AdAware or Ewido:

The main problem is that some other components on the computer are using the same software.
So, u need to know the software which is using it with out ur notice or u need to go to the temp. files & deleat them first and then try to uninstall the programe

Download anti spyware at: www.download.com
OR
Click c: then click program files. Search the program and click delete.
If you can't delete it, download software named Unlocker at www.download.com
It's free 100%.

Follow the link below. This malware just reinforces strongly the reason why people should use Firefox and not Internet Explorer as their web browser.

Sounds like Spyware/Adware to me.
Try Ad-Aware.
