Do a Google search for 'babylon search' and you'll come up with many links on it, seems to be quite common

Yeah I deleted some part of it already but when I open a new tab, it's not google search but still babylon search.
Damn thing, it just sticks on my comp forever.

I looked at the website you linked me to and it says it's a dictionary or translator? then why are people freaking out...I thought it's cool to always keep a dictionary or translator hah :)

I got that on my firefox browser and just dealt with it. I think there was something I did to reduce the times that it came up, but I've forgotten what I did. Then I switched browsers to chrome and it was all good (although, it is still on firefox).

Tools>Internet Options>General....thens it should say what your homepage is, cancel the babylon and type in google or something else.

Thanks a lot, I manage to clean it off. It doesn't appear already when I open a new tab. But not sure whether it's fully wiped off.
