these sounds like bigfoot "directory search" in the default installed "accounts" in oe, which
have been there since about 1997.
but maybe a recent oe patch altered the location of these features?

this is an old spybot setting, but perhaps spybot usees a different reg edit to accomplish
this old feature? google sample:
restriction on access to internet options on dropdown menu
.... I did run spy bot. ... Doc, Did you by chance run SpyBot's Immunize feature? ...
Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions] "NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001 ...

i understand how infospace or clusty or any other ad-driven site could have potential
spyware associations, but calacademy seems unlikely.
