149693 2003-06-04 09:08:00 On my 3rd computer I am running Win XP & before Win ME with IE 6.0 SP1, & I have not found any spyware & I have not read any thing about this on any of the News sites. stu140103 (137)
149694 2003-06-04 10:44:00 I think Robsonde that you are referring to alexa which is part of Internet Explorer (and SP1 for IE6). Adaware and I presume Spybot as well will detect this registry entry and remove it.

More information here:

Alexa 'Spyware' and Internet Explorer 6 (members.blue.net.au)

IE 6 Web Accessories (www.microsoft.com)

A search on google will provide additional information.
