Juanita,

I have not encountered any case where "AdAware won't work until you update
and D\L Alexa again."  Alexa was known to be a decent software company but
their name I believed was smeared bad during the release of Internet
Explorer 6 Service Pack upgrade.  If my memory serves me right, the "Alexa"
entry after installing the IE6 service pack was to support the IE's Tool
menu to "Show Related Links."  If you delete the "Alexa" entry from your
IE6, it will remove the search engine and deletes the  "Show Related Links"
from the menu.  And then, there was the controversy over IE6 and Alexa over
this "Spyware" issue.  Alexa since then earned the reputation as "one of the
worst spywares" known.  For more info, click on this link...
