File name: GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe
Program name: swg
Description: Google ToolBar for Internet Explorer. This program will notify you when you attempt to change the Internet Explorer search engine to something other than Google and asks if you would like to allow the change. This program, when run, will also connect to Google's servers and check for new updates to to the Google Notifier.Even if you disable the Notification option using the instructions below, it will still load at startup. To remove this, you can actually delete the file, which we do not recommend, or disable the setting in the Toolbar settings and then removing the autorun entry. If you do not enable/disable that setting again the autorun entry will not come back.Readme.txt file found in the GoogleToolbarNotifier directory states:"GoogleToolbarNotifier is a companion to the Google Toolbar. This executable is necessary to enable the Search Settings Notifier feature of the Toolbar. This feature lets you keep Google as your default search engine and prevents this setting (and others as we add new features) from being changed without your consent.To enable or disable this feature, please click the "Settings" button on your Toolbar and choose "Options." In the "More" section, check or un-check the box next to "Set and keep Search settings to Google." As long as this feature remains enabled, GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe will run silently in the background."The path to this file will change based on the version of the Notifer.
