I guess you are right. I always used this particular site because I knew that they review and test all programs before releasing them for download.

I use avast! SuperAntiSpyware, MalwareBytes and SpywareBlaster.
Avast is always running and I use SAS and MB on demand.
Never had anything bad installed with mb myself. I always go to the official sites.

You got Babylon for the site you downloaded from. Not from Malwarebytes Anti Malware. This Babylon has been popping up all over the net. This piece of trash is attacking well known good sites. It got me to about a week ago. Just Google (Remove Babylon) and you will get 989,000 sites to remove this trash.

I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials and I've found it quite good with Windows 7. I certainly doesn't hog my system the way Norton System Works used to years ago. I've just downloaded SuperAntiSpyware and ran it but all it found were cookies. I selected some of those for removal but left most of them. I still have MalwareBytes installed as it seems to be quite a good program once I got shot of the stuff that came with it.

@Layback Bear. I actually emailed the company behind Babylon but I won't tell you what I said to them!

I had a little chat here with a rep. Let us know how successful you are of getting rid of it and how. It can help many. You should be able to get a clean MAM from there site.
