Hi,
I have problem with fixing Babylon toolbar helper (see attached image).
Do you know how to solve it ?
Regards,
Emil
Yes, I have some solutions, if only I knew what problem you wish to solve.
What are you trying to fix.
If you cannot clean the registry key then you can add it to the CCleaner exclusions.
N.B.
Most people that have a problem with Babylon do not complain about this registry key,
They are far more concerned by the difficulty of removing all of its parasitic entanglement in their whole computer experience,
and they bitterly regret the day that it got installed.
Thought that toolbar was considered as a bad thing to have on your computer. I'd worry less about fixing it, and instead removing it which may require anti-malware software and a toolbar removing software.
I am not sure if I have installed this toolbar. But CCleaner finds this registry entry. avast! Antivirus and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware don't detect it on my computer.
Go to Control Panel, click Programs (software).
Uninstall "Browser Manager" + "Bprotector" + "Object Installer" + "Babylon Toolbar on IE"
Then depending on which browser you use , follow the relevant steps:
----------------------Firefox ---------------------------
> Open a new Firefox window (website)
> Go to Tools> Options> and go to change your order, the Home. ( f.e www.google.de) and click OK.
> Remove the search engine of Babylon by clicking the small arrow next to the icon of Babylon
> Manage Search Engines
> select Babylon and Remove
> Close Firefox and open again
> write in the address Bar "about:config " and click Enter
> Write in the search engine "Babylon."
> Click on any 'Babylon' preferences with the right mouse button and select "Reset"
In the following video you can see how to change TAB URL :

--------------------------------- Internet Explorer (IE) ------------ -------------------------------------

Well, that was unexpected. Thanks Babylon support!
+1 babylon support, very comprehensive removal help.
I was just going to say to uninstall the toolbar from Programs & Features, but hey, to be sure, to be sure.
whenever i see this toolbar, it gets removed straight away.
Norton AntiVirus earned a notorious reputation for the difficulty of removal.
They have since shown some good will to the majority of computer users by providing an UN-installer utility.
Babylon Support are showing good will by providing information in this topic, for which I thank you.
It is unfortunate that the user needs far more skill to follow the removal advice than he needed to "accept" the gift of a new toolbar.
The ideal solution would be a "Babylon UN-installer" that would do the job automatically,
and for the benefit of those that consider Babylon to be untrustworthy due to past experience,
for the UN-installer to be hosted by SoftPedia or a similar trusted site which warrants it to be free of malware,
and not an open invitation to "Seven devils more evil than itself".
Dear Super Hero,
Thank you for your Kinds Words, we are working on developing more easy methods to remove the Babylon add on's, the problem is that because most of Babylon add on's are being downloaded from a 3rd party softwares we don't have much control on that issue, but we can assure as we did here for full free support , Also via a free Human chat service for all

It was good of Babylon to help with this issue, and as the topic can't really go anywhere else, I'll close it.
