Had a computer cleanup and my Google toolbar was uninstalled. When I try to reinstall, I get an Error 404 message from Google.
Can one of you computer guys give me some help ?
Thanks in advance.

thank your IT person for getting rid of that crap. You don't need a toolbar.

in all seriousness to the OP:
if you want to continue to use internet explorer with the google toolbar, you can find it here: LINK

I understand—some people are used to doing things a certain way that has always worked for them, and that is OK.

unfortunately, sometimes you HAVE to use it. I know of some payroll company that requires IE and a super out-dated version of java to connect to their web application.


ElderTiger, please see my post just above yours.

Stop using a browser that actually requires a plugin to do searches. All modern browsers use search providers in the address/omni bar.

Them: "My computer is running slow. Can you look at it? Also, what have you heard about *myfreesuperfastcleanPC* that they show on those TV commercials? It sounds neat."

Me: "That's most likely a virus, don't use it."

Them: "OK, I haven't."



Get PC. Home page on browser is *myfreesuperfastcleanPC*.
