Google Toolbar causing a DCOM Error and Not Responding

The google toolbar stopped working right today. The GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe service (program) was unable to register as a DCOM component. There was a evenet in the event viewer and internet explorer was delayed in opening. After doing some poking around, I found that you can simply unregister the program / service.

Kill IE and do the following either from run or the command prompt:





"C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe" /unregserver
