re: spy ware or hijack programs on my computer how to get ride of them Friday, June 18, 2004 at 1:23 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ms. Eagle (33507 messages posted) Believe it or not, that Alexa is installed with Internet Explorer and everytime you repair IE, or update it, it's installed again. Alexa registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\ {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}\ is the "Whats related links" feature on your Internet Explorer toolbar. If you don't use that feature, it's not a problem. Internet Explorer Exposes Sensitive Information Alexa http://www.secunia.com/advisories/8955/ P.S. It's up to you, but I still say get rid of that Noadware. It's a rip off of Ad-aware and may have installed, whatever it is you're referring to. I do know it's no good, whether it seems so or not. Some of those continually download and install more spyware! I don't think that one does.
