The following is information on the Google toolbar. Regarding how the toolbar was placed there from the start, it is likely the person installed something like CCleaner or any number of applications that add such toolbars during the installation process. It is important all screen reader users get into the habit of reading screen in their entirety when installing software on their computers. Not reviewing all screens opens doors for malware or undesired installation. (Smile).
