This post, along with the toolbar, is pretty dated, so there is quite likely better tools available to accomplish the task you're looking to do (and I'm not even sure what that task is!) :) I believe you nithin, but not sure there is much I can do about it… This post, along with the toolbar, is pretty dated, so there is quite likely better tools available to accomplish the task you’re looking to do (and I’m not even sure what that task is!) :)

When I tried to download the bar, my bit defender poped up stating there has been a trojan hidden in a .gif image. Even my antivirus did not allow to atleast look at the page. I can conclude that alexa bar is harmful. But I really have a doubt why are they doing this? It got that much fame but why?

Because Alexa scores are based on a sampling (those users have downloaded the Alexa toolbar), it is inaccurate for all sites of less than about 1 million visitors per month. And the less visitors you have, the more inaccurate Alexa is. Oh, and one million visitors monthly gets you ranked about 2-3,000 on Alexa. Best, Bert Just a quick FYI…
