It may be way to late but I had success doing it this way.

Tried all of your suggestions-NO GOOD.
I turn off any access to internet (what ever way you link it disconnect it)
Click on my C: Drive
Seach Babylon (Had a couple of mp3 songs)
Any folders, searches, history whatever else Delete them period (some i found in App data locations etc.)
Did a history Clean, Cookies Clean then even Disk Cleaner in maintenence.
Then Restarted computer (All before ever connecting to internet)
Started IE and clicked on a new tab and low and behold No More Babylon!

You do have to uninstall all parts from the control panel and from any and all other add ons but then do the above and get rid of all the other stuff too. Hope this helps someone out there. God Bless!

Thanks Scadifi 454! It took about 25 + find next and deletes but its gone! Now to figure out how I get my original option to open inprivate browsing tab page back! You rock!

I found that the only easy way to get rid of this is by resetting your OS (Windows I guess). Had the same problem. I just went back to my settings one day, and now it's gone. What did I learn by this? Never, ever dip my fingers in anything that has to do with Babylon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can't just delete/ add/ remove this thing you have to manually remove it from your registry then go back into you browser and make sure to make google or bing or whoever your default is is and remove the babylon link. Then go one step further go into your anti-virus software and block the babylon url (link) so that you don't make the same mistake twice.

The quickest way to remove Babylon search is to uninstall the program that gave you it in the first place for me it was MyFileDownloader. It was an annoying download I didn't want. I then changed my default search engine to Google and removed Babylon for my plugins list (location varies with browsers but should be somewhere in settings or options). I then made sure that where it gave a list of the pages that loaded on startup that only my homepage (Google) was there. Babylon was also there so i removed it. I am now free of the annoying addon!

Hope this Helps.

The only ting that removed it for me was Spybot. It took several tries and one scan on reboot and it found about 15 places that held Babylon, along with a Pup malware.
