That is very bothering and I want to remove it completely.
Also babylon search is in the default address bar instead of google.
I removed Babylon Toolbar from my laptop control panel, but it's still there!
The other day someone in yahoo answers suggest a removal guide,

i just want to make sure everything won't go wrong again.
so is there a simpler way to remove this everyone hated toolbar?
