What are the types of toolbars?

It depends. Most toolbars feature some sort of quick access search box (google, yahoo, blekko, Ask.com, McAfee secure search, etc.). Some toolbars will have features like a mail notifier, favorites organizer, small news feed, or weather. However, toolbars are often considered to be 'malware' and can potentially harm your computer or internet browser. Also, they can block your view of a webpage, slow down the speed of your browser, change your home page, or even crash. Instead of downloading a toolbar (unless it is offered in a trial play and you want the software offered), I would suggest downloading addons which can do the most of the same things and are a lot nicer to look at (in my opinion).

What will happen if burnin rubber 4 is still loading and you close and shut down the computer?

Is this a game? If it is then nothing will happen it will just have to restart when you are loading it up.

If it is a program that you were downloading and installing then you will have to get the download again (unless saved to computer) and restart the installation process. To feather answer your question i need to know what Burning Rubber 4 is.

Does installing a game on a PC slow down the computer?

Installing programs takes up hard disk space and enters information into the Windows registry. In addition, many games come with additional programs (such as Steam, Ageia Physx, etc) that install their own files and registry keys. So in the end, installing a large number of games WILL slow down your computer. However, a single game rarely makes a noticeable difference.
