Gears.dll is the Google Gears helper. You'll find the file in your c:\Program Files\Google\Google Gears\Internet Explorer\0.1.47.0\ folder (number may vary). Google Gears is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality using the following JavaScript APIs: Store and serve application resources locally, Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database, and Run asynchronous JavaScript to improve application responsiveness. If you want these features, leave this file in place.
