There's this, that relates to IE:

The Google Toolbar is an add-on component for Microsoft
Internet Explorer that extends the functionality of the Google
search engine. Google Toolbar version 2.0.114.1-big/en (GGLD)
could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
system. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted Web
page that invokes the ABOUT.HTML Web page and contains
embedded code, which would be executed in the victim's local
computer zone, once the Web page is visited.
