I agree. Most consider Alexa to be spyware, so just removing the
toolbar may not be enough, run an app like Spybot Search and Destroy to
remove that which it may have installed without the user knowing it.

B, as an aside, please bottom post in the groups on this server, it is
the group preference.

In addition, I notice that your newsreader, Outlook Express, did not
strip Irwin's sig, as it should have. OE Quotefix:

It will help fix this problem, as well as many other OE quoting problems.
