My Daughter has a game, Diva Stars, everytime she puts in the disk it puts alexa.web in my pc. took me a while to figure out where it came from. Alexa should have been a clue as one of the characters is named Alexa. Go figure, I payed for the software and the spyware that came with it!
 
The cookies that you pick up with adaware is normal. Each time you visit a web site again that has popup adds on it will add the cookie again and adaware will pick it up again when aaw is run. Delete the data miner cookie file with a spyware remover and go back to the website and you will have the data miner cookie again the next time u scan. Adaware does get rid of alexa also fyi.
