This piece of malware can be a swine to get out of the system

I found this a reasonable guide http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-babylon-toolbar/ and main bit was the ADWCleaner. It found 29 separate entries for Babylon in the registry referencing programs hidden in the Windows directory not in the main program files directory even after running the so called uninstaller.
