Babylon has taken over my computer. After hours, I managed to get rid of it on IE and Firefox, but nothing I do works for Chrome. I have made google my default browser in settings and followed the advice of several forums and help services, but nothing works. I am using a pc with windows 7 and I am not very computer tech savvy. Thanks

To remove Babylon (or anything else that has taken over Google Chrome), doing the following should suffice:

  1. Go to chrome://chrome/settings/startup and remove all related pages.

    This is done by clicking the X at the right of the entry.

  2. Go to chrome://chrome/extensions/ and remove all related extensions.

    This is done by hovering over the entry and clicking the trash can icon when it appears.

  3. Go to chrome://chrome/settings/searchEngines and select a proper default search.

    This is done by hovering over the desired search engine (normally Google, at the very top of the first list) and clicking Make default.

If anything survives, you'll need a malware scanner like MBAM (easy) or HiJackThis (advanced).

For the specific case of Babylon, there are a number of step-by-step videos on YouTube that might help.

Open up chrome and go to the little three bars for settings. Open Settings > Extensions > Click the trash bin > Your done! However you might have to set your search engine again. Same thing go to settings > Scroll down to search > select google or whatever engine you use.

Then go to PC control panel, find babylon search or delta search in your program list and remove it. Hope this helped a little.

I also suggest you check this babylon toolbar removal guide if you still not can not get rid of it completely.
