Thanks, Dave.

Will definitely try these steps if I can't get rid of the tool bar via the
instructions I've received from other list membrers.

What still puzzles me is why I didn't have these problems several weeks ago.
The only new software I have installed recently has been  the Avast
anti-virus program,  and Malwarebytes to address the sluggishness and other
issues I was dealing with at that time.  This is why I'm still thinking the
Google toolbar might have been installed during an update.  This is only
speculation on  my part, though.

Hi Tom,

In Internet Explorer 11 Press Alt-T to drop down the tool bar.  Arrow down
to Manage Add Ons and press Enter.  Arrow down till the Toolbars and
Extensions radio button is checked.Tab once and then arrow till currently
loaded add ons has focus.  Tab once and arrow down to the Google Toolbar.
Tab three times to reach the disable button.  Press the space bar to disable
it.Tab down to close and press enter.  I don't think this deletes the
toolbar, but it should disappear from the screen.  At least I think so.  I'm
always very careful during downloads to make sure toolbars and the like are
not riding along.  Adobe Flash always wants to put in the Google toolbar and
to make Chrome the browser.

Dave
