These keys all relate to registry entries which allow you to access the Alexa search feature while in Internet Explorer

key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\internet
explorer\extensions\{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}\ is the "What's related links" feature on your Internet Explorer toolbar. It's not a big deal, if you don't use it , you can delete it.
Alexa technology does use a 'web crawler' (bot) that records the information found on Web Pages accessed when the 'What's related feature' is being used in Internet Explorer. If you click 'Tools' in your Browsers toolbar, you will see 'What's Related'. If you click it, an Alexa search box will open up on the side of your browser.

When searching with the 'What's Related' feature the URL's you visit and information entered into forms is collected and sent to Alexa.

NO information is sent if the search box isn't open. It's only sent when Alexa is being used to visit web sites.
So if you choose not to use Alexa, NO info on your surfing habits will be collected or transmitted.
