Google Toobar Notifier - Allow or Block?

Just wondering what you guys do with this? Seems to me it could be Google spyware (under the guise of being an important component of Google's Toolbar).

 

Hello PVSurfer,

I used Google Toolbar & its GoogleToolbarNotifer.exe for a long time. I only removed the toolbar when I installed IE7. The toolbars in IE7 just won't stay put, + IE7's search box works fine, allowing choice of search engines. The notifier keeps the toolbar up-to-date. IMHO it not spyware & poses no problem or threats to your system.

ps Do you FAH? See post #16 https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=155367 good song!

 

Thanks Rico; in that case I will 'tell' my firewall to allow it the next time it alerts me about the Google Toobar Notifier.

 

Well I really don´t know what´s up with this tool, recently I got an alert that it wanted to "act as a server", I mean this is bad stuff. Google needs to stop with these spyware like activities, this tool is completey useless.
