Thanks to your advice re Daily Weather Forecast I was able to delete it through command
prompt. After that everything was easy. Windows XP is up and running now and I do
not have problems any more.
I run Ad-Aware SE (found several Alexa related files), Spybot and Anti-virus program
and it looks now that my computer is clean. Most likely Ad-Aware SE cleaned registry
too.
Again, thanks for your advices. You were very helpful.
Sincerely,
Darko

Btw, in the future, you should get and use an AV program that works in safe
mode,
