Google Toolbar For some reason, I have the following 'Google Toolbar' whatever load up every time I start my PC and I am unable to close it, I just have to drag it out of the way.
There is no startup entry for it, or nothing in the uninstall programs list, I've already tried removing google toolbar from the uninstall part of control panel, that went fine but the start up problem is still there, and nothing in C:\Program Files\Google for it either.
If anybody knows how to sort this out, it would be much appreciated if you could walk me through it

What kind of Anti-malware software do you have installed? Have you tried running a full system scan?
also, in IE you could go to Tools (upper right), toolbars, customize and see if Google toolbar is in there. If it is, you could highlight it and click remove.

Looks like it may be related to Google Earth? Do you have that installed? Anyway, check the end of this thread for a possible workaround: Google Toolbar problems - Tech Support Forum

You're welcome J4M13 - did that workaround do the trick or did you find some other solution?
