Hi mipurrty1, these steps should help you remove it fully:

  • Click Start, then Control Panel, then Uninstall a Program. Remove anything related to Babylon.
  • Open Firefox. Type about:addons into your address bar, press Enter. Click on Extensions, then Remove any Babylon or other unwanted toolbars and extensions. Restart Firefox.
  • Install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
  • Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.


This should help fully remove Babylon.
Also you could try a Full Firefox Reset. Details here:
