Babylon Toolbar
Hello.
For the last week every time I start Google Chrome
another tab opens as well called,Babylon Toolbar.
I have followed every piece of advice,in forums
& YouTube, and used about four different Malwere
programs,but it is still there.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of it.
Cheers

OP, I went ahead and added to that thread Paul posted to provide a website that discusses how to manually remove Babylon in case it doesn't remove itself. Please feel free to refer to that on Paul's link if other methods fail. Keep in mind that modifying your registry can cause serious headaches within Windows if you don't do it exactly as it is mentioned.

God! We have so many of these people come here asking for help removing this crap, but if they only ran Firefox with Noscript it wouldn't have happened.

If people ran NoScript they'd probably reduce their daily Spyware allotment by, what, a whole 96% That's good enough for me. That's good advice, Aaron.

Yeah! Noscript is like a door before your anti-virus software. It can be cumbersome, but you can go into Noscripts options and allow 2nd base domains by default. That way your not having to allow scripts globally. In fact, even when Noscript is disabled it still protects.

Okay, so you've inspired me. Playing around with NotScript for Chrome.

I wasn't aware that Noscript was available for Chrome. You should go into the options and enable base 2nd level domains by default.
