Alexa Toolbars 4, 5, and 6 may also be uninstalled using your computer’s Add/Remove Programs feature. Open your Windows Start menu, go to Settings, click on Control Panel, and then double click on Add/Remove Programs. Click on Alexa and then click the remove button. The next time you open a new browser window, the toolbar should be gone.
Tools which you should have available for the prevention and control of Malware ....:

Don't get into the habit of clicking on something offered by a warning popup it is almost always trying to sell you something by suggesting that your machine is infected and in a few minutes it will be running like new..... they usually will do some sort of a scan and then tell you that there are all these issues ....... Then the kicker ......... please have your credit card handy and click here ....... and all the issues will be fixed ........ LOL
