I don't get it.

alexa toolbar sucks

what are you going on about ?

lol @ your AEX link. are you investor or what?

oh and whats ur point with that alexa thing?

this is NOT the Alexa toolbar. This is a standard feature built in to Internet Explorer. Check by yourself.

It is still early...maybe I'm not awake...but I still don't get it.
For us morons you want to spell it out?

:Graucho and your point is?

lol

Yep, real bullshit!

Hmmzzz i use myie2 ... but when i yesterday did open ie i had at once a yahoo toolbar built in %-)

alexa rankings are pure garbage. no real traffic values

I agree 100% :thumbsup

what ?

What's your point?

that sucks dude
:(

freeones, doesn't know himself what it should mean, he just waits till some smartguy comes up with an explanation.

Ok folks check this out. I do NOT have any Alexa toolbar installed at all. Now I'm running SpySweeper and look what it finds everytime again when you restart IE:

Test by yourself you can download Spy Sweeper here:

So my point is that the Alexa is a very accurate tool.

now i get it! you mean that alexa is installed on every pc that has ie6. therefore, the stats are accurate since many peeps have ie6, right?

well, i will download spysweeper and check it out myself. espcially since my pc was formatted 2 weeks ago.

yes, that's exactly what I mean.
Please let me know the results and or that you have the Google toolbar installed or not. I have installed XP too less than 2 weeks ago, but use the Google toolbar

i use noting, no pop ups no google toolbars, this shit only slows the things down.

anyway this is what i got:

you see, it says alexa toolbar, but in fron of it you see "AD", dunno what this means. when I click on the plus sign I get like 8 registry entries.

Firthermore, check this out, from the spysweeper site:
Method of Infection:

The Alexa toolbar is bundled with Windows XP, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, and with some new Dell computers. The toolbar is also available for download at Alexa?s Web site (http://www.alexa.com) and at other shareware and partner sites.



You see, its standard with internet explorer. Furthermnore, Alexa has sold private info in the past.
