How to Download Google Toolbar

From searching to shopping, Google provides users with tools that work together, connecting your email with your calendar, for example. When you register for an account and use services such as Google Maps, Gmail or iGoogle, you access different parts of this suite. Almost instantly, information about your browsing patterns, preferences, appointments and contacts is shared between these programs. Signing in with the Google toolbar is one way to access these features and keep them a click away.

      Read the terms and conditions. Be sure that you understand the agreement you are entering by using Google's software. (This is a legally binding document that you are signing digitally.)

      Configure your toolbar. By default, Google will select itself as your default search engine. At this time, you may also opt to make Google your homepage. These features are optional additions to the installation of the toolbar itself.

      Press "Agree and Install." Follow the prompts. (Depending on your browser and anti-virus software, you can "Run," "Save" or "Allow" the program to continue. If you choose "Save," you will have to locate and manually start the .exe application file.)

Tips & Warnings

  • If the program is not downloading correctly, check to be sure your pop-up blocker, anti-virus, or browser security has not stopped the process.

  • Mac users may find the toolbar download and additional Google software at "Google.com/mac"
