rate4 The process GoogleToolbarNotifier belongs to the software Google Toolbar for Internet or GoogleToolbarNotifier by Google Inc (toolbar.google.com). File swg.dll is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files". Known file sizes on Windows XP are 324536 bytes (94% of all occurrence), 325048 bytes. This .dll file is a Browser Helper Object (BHO) that runs automatically every time you start your Internet browser. BHOs are not stopped by personal firewalls, because they are identified by the firewall as your browser itself. BHOs are often used by adware and spyware.  See also: Link   zigh
rate3 Zigh is correct, I believe to get rid of it, just uninstall the google toolbar. Since I use google a lot, I find the toolbar very useful. But keep in mind what zigh says about BHOs, and that they are used by spyware and adaware because your firewall doesn't recgonize it as anything other than it being your browser.   MyGeekTeam
