Hello Adi,my answer is
kalo kata url ini http://www.imilly.com/alexa.htm
But if you don't use that menu or button, Alexa will not hear from you and
no spying will take place.
Just to be clear, this feature is 'spyware', if you use it. If you do so,
you will be sending information to MSN and Alexa obtained by spying, because
there is nowhere that Microsoft adequately discloses and documents that privacy
'leak'. Sure, Alexa have some information on it, and a pretty clear privacy
policy, but you don't get to know of Alexa's involvement until after you use
the feature, and even then you have to hunt for it, and even then no mention is
made of MSN's interstitial involvement. Don't blame Alexa though - it's
Microsoft's responsibility to provide their users with complete and truthful
disclosure - and they haven't.
But if you don't use it, it won't be spying on you behind your back, and
you may sleep soundly. Here are some options :-
- You can let Ad-Aware delete it, with no harm done (though if you
later repair, or patch or upgrade IE, it may get re-established).
- You can ignore the alert and leave it be, with no harm done.
- You can fiddle with it so that it just doesn't work (so that even if
you, or someone else using your PC, accidentally tries it, it won't contact
Alexa).
- Or you can fiddle with it so that it uses Google to find related
links, instead of Alexa. See the instructions and security warning below
Here's the skinny . . .
The existing Alexa/Show Related Links gubbins is just a registry key
[#1], creating a menu item [#2], pointing to a local web page [#3], pointing to
an MSN search page [#4], which redirects to the Alexa web site[#5]. All that is
'installed' on your PC is that HTML page [#3], which uses MSN and Alexa, but
only if you use it.
[#1] HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions\{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}
[#2] Within IE, see Tools / 'Show Related Links'
[#3] C:\Windows\Web\related.htm (for Win9X and XP it's there.
Other O/S's may be slightly different).
[#4] http://related.msn.com/related.asp?url=
[#5] http://xslt.alexa.com/data?cli=16&url=
Open 'Related.htm' in Notepad to see what it does, if you like. Or
try, say, this link . . .
http://related.msn.com/related.asp?url=imilly.com
If you don't use the 'Show Related Links' menu links, and if you
haven't installed any extra Alexa stuff [#6] then you are NOT in danger of it
spying on you.
[#6] Maybe from Microsoft Internet Explorer Web Accessories)
So, what to do about it?
