babylon search engine on Windows 7, where does it come from and how do I get rid of it?? It's a new laptop and I think it's gone then it's back!!!

[CuriousMama]

I don't trust it at all. I removed it from add/remove programs but it's still there?
Does anyone know how to totally get rid of it? This laptop is brand new and dp's talking about taking it to a computer shop but we don't have much spare cash.
TIA

Is it set as your internet homepage?

Google babylon search removal and see what it throws up.

thanks I did something similar but didn't put search.

My ds lap top had it. In the end I had to go back to a previous system restore point to remove it.

It seems to be on our family computer too but I don't use that one so I've not made any effort to remove it yet.

[CuriousMama]

Excellent idea why didn't I think of that IDDI? I always used system restore on the other laptop. Thanks.

I think it's malaware SD so you may want to get rid? All the ways they tell you to remove it on the net are either too confusing or don't work.

Download and install the free version of Malwarebytes,then scan with that,if it finds any nasties it will deal with them,I scan weekly with it.
