Default Google Toolbar

Newbie here with an annoying problem.

Whenever I boot up my pc an internet explore type box opens headed Google Toolbar with the following message:

This program cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.

Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.

THis cannot be minimised or closed just dragged to the bottom of the screen.
Searched and deleted any reference to Google toolbar on my PC but with no luck.

Any ideas

Well, I'm not sure where Addis was going with this but my suggestion is to go to Start -> run and type msconfig

In the window that comes up, go to the startup tab. In this tab. Obviously, this utility is for disabling startup items, which should include your google toolbar problem. Look for anything google related or internet explorer related, but if all else fails you can just disable anything you dont recognize as needed (You are able to disable everything in the Window without damaging anything). Click apply and close. It will ask you to restart, which you should comply with after saving any open documents. When it restarts the only thing that should come up is a window telling you that msconfig was used. Check "dont bug me again" or whatever and close the window. Hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

How did you delete references to google toolbar on your computer? Did you do a registry clean?
