AVG's IE toolbar to control your antivirus products

NOThing it is a IE 8 TOOl so it is likely harmfull

This IEToolbar.dll program comes from AVG anti-virus and anti-spyware company. It runs as a browser helper object in Internet Explorer. I hate the fact they used this IEToolbar.dll name when they are an anti-virus company, as this name has been used for rogue programs and therefore creates confusion. This program is considered safe, and is not virus, adware, or spyware related, but double check the location as mentioned. Visit ietoolbar.dll for complete information on this task or process. If you would like help on other tasks or processes, you can view the entire process and task directory

It has something to do with AVG antivirus tool bar for IE8

OK, let me tell you something. The only reason I deleted it was because I found out it was unsafe AND, it was 45GB! GB! Huge file that killed my laptop. It had to go. It does nothing apparently but sit there. And AVG is running fine without it, I'm sure this wasn't part of AVG.
