I'm new so sorry if I'm in the wrong location.

I recently was attacked by Babylon Toolbar and a bunch of viruses/malware. I used Avast, which cleaned everything up it seems. My toolbar still won't allow me to add a new tab via the old one and instead has added a button to do so.

I checked my about:config and found Babylon stuff still there; it was in bold face type. I tried to remove it with restart, but it will not go away. Any ideas on how to remove this or is this something I'm going to have to bring to an expert. How do I get rid of this? I already did the easy stuff, like control panel etc. I just want it gone.

Thanks for any info you may have.
