try ctrl+alt+delete at the same time and when the popup menu comes up select task manager. In task manager you should be able to see everything running and have the option of ending the google window.

hope this helps

Problem is it will come back when you reboot.. You need to remove it from the startup menue if you can.. Start/Run and type msconfig. Go to the Startup tab and try to find the progam that is launching it.. You might have to uninstall all the google stuff in Add/Remove Progams..

he might also need to go to start - control panel - add and remove programs and remove whatever program this might be that is coming up on the PC as well.

And I would also run a spyware scan along with the virus scanner to be on the safe side. Probably just a program that was running in the background but I would do it just to be on the safe side.

I hate those pesky programs. That's why I won't use any 3rd party toolbars.
