You can find this text from the file "Building and sending daily status report..". i think its spyware because of text about sending reports like "Starting new capture session"
  JFK  

It will cause problems with IE 7, not allowing you to open IE. Simply uninstall the MSN toolbar until a new version of the toolbar comes out!
