It's not adware; it's a setup page for IE7. You likely didn't complete the setup, or the settings didn't take for some reason.
This is quoted from another answerer (sourced below):
"Runonce is NOT spyware, adware or a virus. This is the default first run page you'll see when you upgrade to Internet Explorer 7. There are a several different options you can configure on this page. The only thing you HAVE to select is the first one about your search provider. Everything else on the page is up to you. Once you've decided on your search provider (which tells IE which engine to use when you use the search bar on the top right), configure any other options you want and click on "Save Settings", which is a link on the top left of the page or a button at the bottom. From there on out, you'll go to your home page when you open IE."
Try the above. If you still have a problem, it could be that an AV or AS program on your computer is preventing the settings from updating. You could also go to the following site, scroll to the bottom and follow the directions for solving the issue:

It sounds like you have adware. I would suggest updating and running a good adware program. There are a few good free ones out there, but be careful, there are some programs claiming to be adware removers that you download, and it comes up with all the adware you have, doesn't let you delete it unless you pay for the subscription, it is really nasty to get rid of. So make sure you do some searching on the program before you download it. Learn from others mistakes.

I'm going to agree with Daniel if you go to www.downloads.com and download adware SE then you should get rid of the problem
