Google Side wiki is a feature in Google Toolbar and can be disabled without uninstalling Google Toolbar. Check the screenshot.

i think it is installed by our permission.

Remember if u installed a software and in hurry just clicked next........
sometimes some softwares integrate another program....

And sometimes the toolbar/addon installation option is hidden in a License Agreement style menu. So it's hard to notice.

You probably use firefox Preeti.
On top right hand side there is a tab called options left click on it then chosse option from there and you will get a new window... go to the tools tab and uncheck the sidiwiki thinggy to disable it.
