I know that AA's and UA's shopping portals are both operated by Vesdia (sp?), and I think US's is different. (Note that mileage yields with AA are much higher than with UA, and US normally earns the least out of the 3, IME...)

I believe they're all from the same place...malls operated by a company called Vesdia (possibly evil, more likely just incompetent) and the toolbars from a company called Freecause (incompetent). You can actually see the "freecause" come up on internet addresses during searches, or at least I can on IE. (No experience with other browsers.)
