No. It is from Visicom Media, a separate company.

Possibly not. While they do say that Second Life is property of LL etc in the footnote, they are not complying with the regulations here in the main text, I would say - http://secondlife.com/corporate/trademark/license.php - particularly

By mimicking the style of the main SL site I think they are fairly definitely trying to suggest to the casual browser that their plugin is an official one, and I doubt that LL would be happy with this. It is also a pointless plugin for the user - all of the worthwhile functionality could be replicated with bookmarks. I imagine that they are paid by whoever produces their "anti-spyware" plugin and, also, Alexa, for including that particular pointless accessory.
