Why do assholes have to make crap like this...??

Babylon is a nasty one.  Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.org) should take care of it.

I got rid of it once on my wife's computer by doing a system restore to before it was infected.

TRIED BOTH OF THE SUGGESTIONS WITH NO LUCK....

If I recall correctly I also did a cntrl/alt/delete and shut down Babylon related operations in there, and also did a search and deleted a bunch of files named babylon first.

Sorry, I'm a hack at best, but I did get it to work. A google search helps with ideas too, but most of what was out there was over my head.
