What is this htm file? 4

[daveask]

Hi,

SpybotSD.exe told me I got an Alexa Related item
c:\windows\web\related.htm
I posted as following (I have inserted "!!!!!!!" in the tag, just in case), do you know what is that for:

<!!!!!!!script>

//Build the query
userURL=external.menuArguments.location.href;
RelatedServiceURL="

http://related.msn.com/related.asp?url=";

//Perform simple check for Intranet URLs
//this is where the http or https will be, as found by searching for :// but skip res:
protocolIndex=userURL.indexOf("://",4);
serverIndex=userURL.indexOf("/",protocolIndex + 3);
urlresult=userURL.substring(0,serverIndex);

//Check if Intranet URL - then open search bar

if (urlresult.indexOf(".",0) < 1) userURL="Intranet URL";
finalURL = RelatedServiceURL + encodeURIComponent(userURL);
external.menuArguments.open(finalURL, "_search");

<!!!!!!!/script>

Very strange, after SpybotSD fixed that, I found the file
c:\windows\web\related.htm
still there and even not be modified!
