Interesting, Dave.
I do have Adobe Flash on the home computer. ... It is needed for some
work-related applications.
Come to think of it, though, Adobe flash is also installed on this work
laptop where I do not have the google tool bar problem.

Hi Tom,
I doubt Microsoft would install the Google toolbar as it is associated with
a competitor, but antivirus and antimalware programs might do it. I know
Adobe Flash tries to install it.
