In my tools option I no longer have Show Related Links.
Where is it? How do I get it back?

AdAware removes the Alexa Registry key which is needed for the Related
button. If you told AdAware to save its changes you can restore it. If
not:

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions\{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}]
"MenuText"="@shdoclc.dll,-864"
"MenuStatusBar"="@shdoclc.dll,-865"
"Script"=hex(2):43,3a,5c,57,49,4e,44,4f,57,53,5c,77,65,62,5c,72,65,6c,61,74,65,\
64,2e,68,74,6d,00
"clsid"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}"
"Icon"=",4"
"HotIcon"=",4"
"ButtonText"="@shdoclc.dll,-866"

---- end file above here

Right click fix.reg and choose Merge.

From Alan Edwards:

======
The related sites feature you probably removed with AdAware for no good reason, as far as I can see.
There is no spyware in the Registry key that AdAware removes. If you let AdAware remove it, then try this:

Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4 Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end of a line.

Ensure the first long line does not wrap at the space in "Internet Explorer"

The last line must be blank. Doubleclick fix.reg
