I see you now!! Spyware in my IE Tools

A few weeks ago I went to change my mail and news settings under Tools in IE when I noticed that my "show related links" button had been replaced with "I See You Now!!". When you click on it, it routes you to a website saoura.com. I have no clue how to get rid of it. I have run Ad-Aware and Spybot. My McAfee virus scan didn't remove anything. I've tried downloading a new IE and it's still there. If anyone here can help me get rid of this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
