What is the hidden Zugo Flash movie on my page?

I found a strange thing hidden on my page:

<div id="SiUnhdqlqHN9t7wB_tbstore_container" style="left: -2000px; top: -2000px; position: absolute;"> <param name="movie" value="http://tbupdate.zugo.com/ztb/2.5/jsi/man/fc.swf"/> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/> 

EDIT: I see that it is in Chrome, and not just in IE, and I have all the improvements to finding web services, etc. disabled in advanced settings.

EDIT: I looked at the markup on a PC not in the office, and Zugo was gone. Perhaps only the PCs or browsers on my PC in the office are affected.

STILL ANOTHER EDITING: This seems to be a StartNow search extension. I would like to know how it was installed on my PC at work.

I would use this grid to track the data that will be covered by HIPAA, and you need to know that privacy is not at risk. There should not be anything โ€œcalling homeโ€ in this grid or on this page. Actually.

PROGRAMMING ASPECT OF QUESTION: If allowScriptAccess is set to "always", can this SWF see everything in the DOM? And if the identifier changes, is there any way for me to โ€œkillโ€ it using javascript?
