Alexa

[Beppe]

like the top says......

how would i go about removing alexa if i wanted to do it for someone that always has windows installed.. also to close port 445.. help would be appreciated

when i noticed you could remove it in nLite, it would only be a matter of time for this

run AdAware SE, when its done scanning, it'll come up in the list, where you can check the boxes, click next, and it will delete it.

Alexa is only triggered when you install a toolbar on IE, everything you type in the searchbar gets sent out.

but its still good to get rid of. i think that this was a good question to ask, all should read this.
