I found this BHO on a client computer. The original file name was Winb2s32.dll but had been renamed to nsiaf.dll. The CLSID for this BHO was also different from what was listed in the description on this site. The CLSID I found was {9ADE0443-2AB2-4B23-A3F8-AC520773DE12}. The BHO name was “ohb Class”.
