Hey Guys,

I updated Ad-Aware SE Personal v1.04 to v1.05, ran it, and found 8 (Used to be 1 when running v1.04) entires for Alexa. When I click on the item details link it says that Alexa comes with Windows. Can I safely delete it using Ad-Aware, or does Windows need it?

Regards,
Stratobat

Edit: I deleted it when running Windows 98SE, but I'm not sure if it's needed for XP Home

Alexa supposedly does something "unspecified" for Microsoft.  Most of the reading I have done says leave it in there.  But since no-one seems to know what it actually does........ that is a very good question.

I have opted to leave it alone for now.

I think I'll follow suit

Same here, I have looked high and low for info on Alexa and very little is known.
I have removed most of it with no bad results but it would be nice knowing exactly what it is and does.

No problem, Stratobat.  But with this one it is the blind leading the blind  ;) .

True... I haven't noticed any problems with it so far though
