goldi Bei entfernen war die Google Toolbar weg
Jessie Watters This appears to be a ghost program that was started by a possible Trojan it shows up different than the link for the Google Toolbar and it helps to bog down system processes, when deciding to keep or remove this check for the Prod ID that should show if its the legimate program
Part of Google Toolbar for Firefox
FatEric Process that keeps Google as the default search engine. The GoogleToolbarNofifer.exe runs by default at the startup and monitors if another software (like MSN Toolbar) tries to change Google's settings.  See also: Link

MikedaSnipe This file on my computer takes a quarter of a second to go through it runs. Not that much of a delay. It's only feature however is to prevent anything from switching the search engine from google. Link for disable instructions.  See also: Link

Shaner GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe is related to Google software.
zandarina It is the process that accompanies the google toolbar in IE7. It runs on the background to check if there is another search that tries to replace it. Apart from this, it connects to a server to check if there is a new update. It is quite annoying, because it installs without permission, But according to google this is because of a bug and the software is not a virus. To delete it you can delete the file :C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier or untick the autorun entry . If you just change the options of the toolbar, when you boot your computer, this process will start again  See also: Link

Monkey Butt This tool is designed to stop LiveSearch from taking over the IE search tool. It does nothing else.  See also: Link
Ariane R This file comes with the Google Toolbar and is for keeping Google as your default search engine and not allowing it be changed without notifying you; it is not dangerous but not necessary for the other functions of the toolbar, If it is using up too much resources you may disable it . Google says you can do this in the "Settings" on your Toolbar: "Options"/ "More" / un-check "Set and keep Search settings to Google." BUT you also need to remove the auto-run entry  See also: Link
