The FromDocToPDF toolbarwas probably installed on your computer during the installation of other free software. In the newer versions of the toolbar, it’s called Google Update Service (gupdate.exe and gupdatem.exe)." FromDocToPDF toolbar” is a browser hijacker because it replaces your browser’s default search settings to “ Ask.com” search settings and changes your Internet default homepage to ” ”. You can also prevent this process from running by the normal method of going to MSCONFIG, then clicking on the Services tab and unchecking the Google Update Service. You may also notice the Google Updater service runs all the time too as GoogleUpdater.exe. That’s a pretty self-explanatory process name! It’s also worth noting that the newer version of the Google Toolbar will show up as the GoogleToolbarUser_32.exe process. With the newer version, there isn’t anything you can uncheck in the settings to stop the notifier process. It doesn’t seem to adversely affect anything with the Google toolbar, so if you really want to make sure it is gone, remove the folder. However, if you close IE/Firefox, then you can delete the GoogleToolbarNotifier folder. This is why I feel that Google may simply be running the toolbar notifier process inside another process. If you try to delete it while IE or Firefox is open, it won’t let you delete it because it’s in use. If you go to C:Program Files (x86)Google, you will still see the folder there. In the newer versions, even though Google Toolbar Notifier does not run as a separate process, it still exists in the folder structure when you install the toolbar. You can now open up the Processes tab in Task Manager and you should no longer see the GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe process running. Note that the latest version of the toolbar does not have the options as shown above. Step 2: Click on the More tab and then uncheck the box that says “ Set and keep search settings to Google” under the “ Search Settings Notifier and Browse by Name” heading.Ĭlick OK and restart your browser window.
Step 1: Open Internet Explorer or Firefox and click on the Settings button (or wrench icon) at the far right of the Google Toolbar.
