serch engine takeover
I was downloading something today and somehow a new browser was added called Babylon... Every time I log on to my homepage this program opens instead. I've tried to get rid of it multiple ways, including with manage search engines (it isn't even listed there), but it won't go away. I hate it and want to get rid of it. Please help. I'm always careful when I'm downloading anything and always un-check any boxes that offer add-ons. I did this time too, but it got by somehow. Thanks.
