Slow vista with google toolbar?

Has anyone also noticed that installing the google toolbar really
slows your internet speed if Vista is on your machine, any ideas on
how to solve that problem, thanks.

Uninstall the toolbar, most third party add ons end up causing trouble
with IE, IE wants to be a law unto itself and it is simpler to let it
be. If you want these add ons you are probably better to use a different
browser that has them.

IE7 has the option to set Google and others as the default search engine. It
is best to uninstall the Google bar. Also, ask yourself, in all honesty, how
often you ever used the facilities of the Google bar beyond the basic search
function..

Remove the Google Toolbar; it serves no useful purpose and slows down
any OS.
