I always have just deleted all of em. If in doubt I guess you could quarantine em and if you need em, put em back later....but I always just delete em.

Definitely delete alexa.

I think Spybot will replace Alexa with a dummy file so you don't keep d/l from MS's windows update. Ad-aware jurt deletes it.
