It's "computerese" for a Smiley face.
Other "Basic Smileys" from the unofficial smiley dictionary:
Basic Smileys
:-) Your basic smiley. This smiley is used to inflect a sarcastic or joking statement since we can't hear voices on a computer.
;-) Winky smiley. User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic remark. More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smiley.
:-( Frowning smiley. User did not like that last statement or is upset or depressed about something.
:-I Indifferent smiley. Better than a Frowning smiley but not quite as good as a happy smiley
