Tuff...I also removed the Alexa entry flagged by AdAware but, I'm not certain it is "spyware".

The Alexa component installed by IE is not the same component referred to in the article. As I remember, if you actually used the IE/Tools/"Show Related" button, the Alexa window that opened with the related links would have a link to download the "full-meal-deal, toolbar, etc. I think this is where the real "spyware" comes in but, who knows.

I don't need it, don't use it, don't want it, so...it's toast.
