Wide World of Women

it contains Alexa Spyware

I am glad I did not install it. Here's what happened:

I downloaded more than a few videos from Megaupload the same day. After that I could not download anything (free) unless I install their toolbar. I thought it was a cookie-thing and erased them. It did not work, I still had to install the toolbar to download for free. I thought it was my spam protection and deactivated it. Same result. I ended up taking a short subscription and... it worked, no need to install the toolbar. My subscription has recently ended and the problem is back.

One thing I am sure of is that Megaupload records IP addresses.

You don't need to download the Megaupload toolbar if you don't want to:

Assuming you're using firefox here's the workabout to avoid toolbar installation:

* Open Firefox
* In the address write about:config and hit enter
* In any point of the list, right click and choose New ---> String
* In the input box write general.useragent.override and push ok
* In the value write: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible); MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; NET CLR 1.1.4322; FDM; Alexa Toolbar
* Click ok and you're ready to download from megaupload.

Basically firefox tells megaupload you installed the toolbar even if you didn't.
