I ran Ad-aware and was clean and then I updated my Ad-aware signature file and ran it and it found the Alexa Spyware on my PC.
I know what Alexa Spyware and I never installed it.
Here is the ending of the report here.

The one "Suspicious files found:1" is the Alexa Spyware "See image".
I never use I.E. because I use Netscape.
But I did use the I.E. once for the " Windows Update" and that was the only time.
So is it a Alexa Spyware file or not? I had looked at the file it points to and it is only a .html page.
The RELATED.HTM is just a white blank page. Dated 642 bytes Fri Apr 23 22:22:00 1999 Hypertext Markup Language.
This is a new PC and a lot of the dates are Apr 23 22:22:00 1999 and Thu Nov 08 18:50:08 2001. This last date being the day the that Windows was install.
So it's a "Suspicious files" only after the update Ad-aware signature file is all I know.
Can I deleted the Suspicious Alexa file with Ad-aware?
