The Googlebar in Explorer is a piece of spyware. True, google notifies you it is spyware, and, much as i thank them for the kind notification, I still have no desire to install it.
Worse yet, it has a number of remote holes which are critical to security.
I wonder why you're using IE (which should be referred from now on to as "TTB" or "The Terrible Bloatware") at all. There are other browsers far better than that. Try Opera. Or Mozilla. Or, better, it's spinoff, Phoenix. The latter two have a Google plugin which is opensource and no remote holes I'm aware of have been found in it. Opera has the option of searching Google [and other search-engines] from withing the browser built-in.
