And they should; because there; you have your chance to not give these types of; take over programs; the right to put themselves in control of you settings. In this near the last; screen shot; it lists themselves, as your default search or what ever. Uncheck these unwanted box items. And<br />you won't give your control over to these sneaky A-holes, in the first please.

I do not want unnecessary programs running in the background anyway, so I am still trying to keep GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe from launching at StartUp. GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe keeps adding itself to my START>RUN>MSCONFIG>STARTUP TAB>SYSTEM CONFIGURATION UTILITY list.<BR/><BR/>I do not know if what I am about to do is going to work. I opened my IE Browser window, selected TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>PROGRAMS>MANAGE ADD-ONS>, scrolled down the list, highlighted the GOOGLE TOOLBAR NOTIFIER BHO "browser helper object" (file swg.dll), and then clicked the DISABLE button in the lower left corner of the box.<BR/><BR/>Then I went back to my START>RUN>MSCONFIG>STARTUP TAB>SYSTEM CONFIGURATION UTILITY list and unchecked the box next to GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe<BR/><BR/>Let's see if this works.<BR/><BR/>If not, I will try deleting the entire directory at C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier .<BR/><BR/>I used to think GOOGLE products were the greatest. Has Google come under the sway of bullies who are as savage as their competitors, and better at abusing our trust and confidence?<BR/><BR/>I would try the registry approach to knocking out GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe if someone gave me more detailed instructions.<BR/><BR/>Others have written: "To stop googletoolbarnotifier, just go to Google Toolbar's settings, click on the "More" tab and uncheck "Set and keep search settings to Google"" How do I find "Google Toolbar's settings"? Nothing I click on opens up that menu.<BR/><BR/>I have been trying to get rid of GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe for many weeks. <BR/><BR/>I hope someone at Google reads this blog and finally has mercy on us, and understand that we want choice, not a police state.

But it seems to me within the last week or so things have changed on my computer at the top. Favorites has changed to a star, print is gone, or moved and a few other things have moved. It is so hard for a person who has no lessons on how to operate one of these things much less understand what others are tellling you because I don't communicate in computer language.<BR/>Question I think I have Window XP Professional or something like that. It has taken me a long time to barely move around in this and now the changes.

This happened to me this evening. Google has now become just another Spyware/Malware outfit; this will be the beginning of their downfall. For Google to think that they have the right to compromise machines just like some shady Spyware organization really shows their arrogance. Then to cover and call it a "bug" is ludicrous. Bugs are errors in programs. It took a lot of work for them to DELIBERATELY program the toolbar to behave this way.
