1 edit | don't need to post links, just hit start/run/regedit look in the first entry. HKEY_classes_root scroll down til you hit ad banner, there is 2 entries there that phone home.
i even have a screen shot, thats if i can get it to upload.
and if you run adaware, it will come up with the alexa entries. but doesn't get rid of the 2 folders that are there. |

I don't have those listings in my registry. And neither did I ever have a "alexa" listing when I run adaware or spybot. This is a fresh installation.

Cornwall, ON | i just did a fresh install of xp early yesterday morning. and those 2 entries are there by default, when you do a fresh install. my screenshot is there to prove it, so i don't know what else to tell you. |
