Google Toolbar: A New Malware Threat

Just one more reason why I keep removing Google toolbars and Goolgel tools when I find them on users systems. I know they don't mean to, but every time you turn around someone finds a way to subvert Google's information, which is quite a bit about the average user.

Then you have this which makes it even worse:

My opinion - Find Google anything on computer - REMOVE IT (but you may need to check, confirm with the user if they want to remove Google stuff as they may not share my opinion)
