I think its a bad thing not sure tho have him check if its listed under extensions and remove it, if not try the below.

• Close all open Web browsers
• From the "Start" menu in Windows, select "Control Panel", and then select "Add/Remove Programs"
• Select "My Search Bar"
• Click "Change/Remove"

Further more if still no luck follow this guide and post a hijackThis log here and someone who knows more about this stuff then me will look thought your log and tell you what to do.

Yes, its a mild form of adware I think, you don't want it.

It wasn't under Extentions so removed it from Add/Remove Programs.
Thanks

Make sure you run all your spyware scanners to make sure you got rid of all of it.
