Never bothered about Alexa before, as I don't do a lot of business with webmasters, and common surfers don't usually care about it. However I am considering selling links on my non-adult site, so thought I should pay attention to it.

I just tried to download their toolbar on IE8 my XP machine because that is the one I use to surf my own sites most often (on the theory that if they look OK on that, they will look OK on everything). IE8 refused to accept the download calling it a file from an "unknown publisher" and so not safe.

Anyone know why Alexa should be considered "unsafe" by Microsoft?
