How to uninstall the google toolbar from your browser
One of the problems I had today was about a google tool bar. The customer wanted to remove the google toolbar from his Internet Explorer. He thinks that it’s what causing the errors that keeps popping up and giving him slowness in opening web pages. Let me repeat dear readers, my client thought that it’s the google toolbar that is causing the errors and slowness. I hope that this is clear to all of you guys; it’s my client’s suspicion. Guys, it’s not solicited. What made it very interesting is the fact that I don’t have any idea on how to remove it from his computer. For a few seconds I almost thought of pressing the panic button. But he then told me that he might found the way to remove it. Sigh, what a relief. He didn’t tell me though, I’m still left with the question to do you uninstall it?
I did a bit of a research about it, and guess where I found the right solution? I found it from the maker itself Google.com. Things don’t really come in handy when you really need them. If you want to uninstall it; for whatever reason; here is the steps on you can do that.
