Alexa

Microsoft has allowed a 3rd party to install a spyware tool called Alexa.
This spyware tool installs automatically during one of MS's updates or
patches. It works by picking tools from the menu and then picking "Show
Related Links. Does anyone know how to permently remove this link and all
software using Alexa? Other than using Ad-Aware? Registry keys and hacks
would be apreciative. I used Ad aware and it removed it, but the next time
I surfed it was back.
