The "Show related links" function of Internet Explorer opens a Microsoft search page that redirects to Alexa. Alexa is known for the Alexa toolbar. As the Alexa toolbar is classified as spyware, the Alexa search page may collect too much user information as well.# O. v# d0 a2 Y
If other products still detect Alexa after you have cleaned it with Spybot-S&D, it is a false alarm. Spybot-S&D does replace the file responsible for connecting to Alexa with one using the Google related function instead, instead of deleting the whole "Show related links" function.
