First, Alexa is spyware. I strongly recommend you use a different toolbar - like google or yahoo. Alexa will redirect searches so you see their sponsored sites and ads which they get paid for when you click or buy. \n\nIf you still want it, put it in the ignore list on McAfee to avoid having McAfee find it as spyware.

I am also expieriencing this problem. I have ran spybot s&d and lavasoft Ad Aware se personal. And are still having this problem. I am working to try to get it undercontrol. I have even removed the bar and it still occurs.

I had the same problem w/McAfee Internet Security Suite...I spent several unsuccessful wasted hours with that challenge.  Finally, McAfee technical support admitted that the installation disk I bought had a corrupt spyware file.  Instead of reimbursing me for my troubles---they emailed a 'complete uninstall from registry program' which did not work.  \n\nTo make a long story short, I had to completely reformat my harddrive and completely reinstall my entire system to remove the McAfee Internet Security Suite from my system.  \n\nThat incident left a bad feeling regarding Symantec Norton / McAfee Internet Security Suite.\n\nGood Luck

Start with control panel add and remove first then if that doesn't work then get MC afee virus remover and see if that helps you out.

McAfee and Norton are the two most popular AntiVirus software packages. Also, to remove spyware, use both Spybot: Search & Destroy and LavaSoft AdAware.

The software you mention don't act as OS firewalls. That is, they don't shield your computer against attempts to record information. Spy-bot and ad-aware rely exclusively on a database of known malware. If you want software that can also act as an OS firewall, try Zone Alarm.\nThat said, when you install the monitoring software, make sure to answer "yes" to any messages you might receive from your security software asking for permission to allow the monitoring software to work. Then, use the computer for a while, perform some routine tasks (checking e-mail etc.) to see if any more security messages come up. If they do, answer "yes" (checking the "remember my answer" box, of course). Then check to make sure that the security software has adequately logged your activity. That done, you're ready to go.\n\nAs one previous user mentioned, if the monitoring software is remote, then the McAfee software will attempt to prevent it from running. You can bypass that problem too by clicking "yes" on each security prompt to allow the software to run through the firewall.

I never heard of it, nor found any useful search engine info, which I'm sure you already tried :)\n\nIf you dont find a good answer, I recommend downloading a program that can tell you the path (location) where the program is located on (ie path = c:&#92;program files&#92;program name you recognize&#92;atr.exe).  The problem with Task Manager is that it does not tell you where the file resides, only the name of it.\n\nI used Spy Bot (http://spybot.info) as my anti-spyware program (its free and very nice extras included).\n\nIf you had this program installed, you could click on the menu bar (Mode, change from basic/default to advanced mode). Once you do that you will see a Tools option on the left menu bar. Then if you click on Process List, it will display the same thing as the Task Manager, but with more info.  It will display the path where the program is running from, and as you highlight the program name, it will display a big tooltip with all the info that associated with the program (ie if I highlight Mcshield.exe it shows the Mcafee Inc, program version, hash, etc).\n\nAt least if you could narrow down the path its running from, it might be located in a folder that you might recognize to something you already have installed.\n\nBut if you dont want to go through all of the above, at least click on Start, Search, For Files.  For fastest results, only type atr.exe in the first box and then hit search.  See what the path is and if you recognize it.\n\nIf you don't recognize the program name, then post that back, along with the folder name you found it in.

Yahoo Toolbar has anti-spyware built-in.\n\nMicrosoft also has an anti-spyware beta you can try.\n\nI use both.

1- go to control panel, then to add/remove programs and check if the toolbar name is listed there and try to remove it...\n\n 2- if that doesn´t work ( very probable) try to install windows defender from microsoft website, this one is very strong up to date anti-spyware tool, I GUESS it will be effecient.\n\n 3-yet, in case step 2 is not enough, try to go to C folder and then to PROGRAM FILES and look for the folder with the toolbar name and try to delete it. sometime you have to rename the folder before you can delete it...\n\n   I am almost sure that step 2 will be very sufficient to remove it; yet, to insure the aximum security of your computer try :\n - to check if the windows firewall is enabled\n - you have to firewall the internet connection, you can do it by opening internet connection ( ex local area network or wireless network) then left mouse button click on the network icon and go to properties then click on ADVANCED , on the top you will have windows firewall, you have to click on settings and then select ON ( reccomended)... :)\n\n   I hope these steps will help you get rid of the spyware trouble.\n\n good luck

Uninstall all McAfee Products on your computer.\nInstall Free AVG antivirus.  It is free, will always be free, is compatible with Windows XP SP2, and is excellent.  Never have any issues, it works by itself, updates by itself every day, and runs itself everyday.  I love it.
