User-specific browser toolbar
Value added
{EFA24E62-B078-11D0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}

There was already a thread related to this issue which concludes it's a benign change (not adware or other malware), however I noted it only takes place while attempting to view IE History from within the browser. Why would MS be trying to add a user-specific "toolbar" to IE when viewing browser History? Sounds suspicious to me. Any comments would be appreciated.

CLSID = {EFA24E62-B078-11D0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E} can be found in the following three (3) Microsoft articles. I am not going to pretend to understand how those CLSID are used in scripting but the CLSID does deal with History.
