This dynamic link library, or DLL, is a browser help object installed with the Google toolbar from the Google search engine company. It runs when Internet Explorer starts, implementing the Google toolbar that lets you quickly search the Internet, while stopping pop-up windows generated by various websites. You can uninstall the toolbar, but terminating the process directly isn't usually a good idea. Also see googletoolbar2.dll and googletoolbar3.dll.
