    Alexa spyware

    I just found something called Alexa in my registry. I assume it's a Spyware program. Anyone know what it does exactly? Thanks for any help.

    Yes, it's spyware. I think it comes when you install some Internet Explorer plug-ins. I think it gathers relatively benign information, but I got rid of it when I found it on my system. Just get Ad-Aware and it will remove it. Here is a link to their site.www.lavasoft.de

    You should go get Ad-aware and run it if you're worried about having spyware on ya PC. Search google for it, or look in some other threads...the URL is posted everywhere, cuz it's a great program.
