Question Virus ?

When i open certain web pages or use OWA and reply to a message, the body of the text become 'selected' and a message appears 'press spacebar or Enter to activate and use this control'

See pic. this happened the other evening on my pc at home, and now its the same on pc at work, which is behind firewalls, AV, and lots more security than i have at home, any ideas ? Ive tried checking for IE6 updates and add-ons but cant seem to find anything that would suggest its doing this. I havent installed anything new either.

The message has something to do with a Patent dispute between MS and someone else. It started appearing following an IE update in April. I don't know the full details but am sure you could search for them. Not a virus as far as I can see.
