So, my kids clicked the wrong thing at the wrong time trying to watch pirated tv on my comp, and ended up installing 'Babylon Search' on my computer.
I've managed to strip the software off the comp itself, the toolbar and the homepage settings have been scrubbed off my Firefox
But, what I'm left with is a redirect that makes any new tab I open in Mozilla, take me to the Babylon search page. I can't find any way to stop this that I can reach on my comp, and now I'm down to trying to repair it via the 'about:config' command in Firefox. The problem is, I have no clue what I'm doing messing around in there.
Does anyone have the technical knowhow as to what I do now that I've found the only evidence left of it there is on my comp?
