I am having an issue with Alexa toolbar. My S&D Spybot says it is spyware. It is also coming up on my Kaspersky as a malicious software. I added it to the exclusion list for Kaspersky, but it still detects it. I did not do anything to it in S&D yet; I wanted to get some thoughts from you guys.

Alexa (which is owned by Amazon.com) tracks the sites you visit so some programs consider it spyware. If you look at the description spybot gives it says it's non malicious. Of course it needs to track where you're going to know you're visiting you site and boosting your rankings. Basically it's a Nielsons box and we're using it to tell everyone that you're site's being visited.
You can read more about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexa_Internet |

OK thanks, But I think my real question is this. What do I tell S&D to do with it? If I have S&D remove it will it mess up the bar? And why does Kaspersky keep detecting it when I have added it to the exclusion list?

Mike, I do not have an answer for you and this is a totally self-serving post, but how do you do screen shots like that?

To do the screen shots you have to be a computer whiz like me!! Just kidding, I hold the control key and press the Prt Scrn button, then I open mspaint and press paste, then save it.
