Alexa is not a virus! The issue is the 'Related Links' feature of IE which appears as the 'Tools'/'Show Related Links' menu item (and a corresponding toolbar button if you added it from the 'Customize...' link on the toolbar). If you use that feature, IE will contact the Alexa servers to obtain information about other web pages which might be, er, related, open an Explorer Bar, and display those (plus adverts and whatnot). Go check the Alexa web site to see if you think that is a good idea (and, just to be clear, I think it's a sucky idea), or just to double-check that you haven't deliberately or unintentionally or absent-mindedly installed some of their software. You can just ignore it or let a program like Adaware or Spybot delete it.
