Remove Babylon Search

Removing Babylon Search is often not easy. If the annoying software has installed toolbars in your browser, they can only be deleted by a few tricks, because a simple uninstallation of the program does not delete all relevant files. If you want to completely remove the annoying plugins, toolbars and search engines, the following steps will help you quickly.

Uninstall Babylon from the computer

The first step on the way to a clean computer is to uninstall all programs that come onto the system with Babylon Search. Here's how to do it:

• Open the Control Panel and select "Uninstall a program" under "Programs".
• Look for "Babylon" in the list of installed applications and remove it. If the browser opens, just close it again.
• In the same way, remove the DealPly application from your computer.

Free Firefox from Babylon

Since Babylon Search also nests in all installed web browsers, you have to remove them manually. It starts with Mozilla Firefox, into which the software penetrates very deeply.

• Open Firefox and open the add-on management.
• Click on "Remove" for the two Babylon add-ons and then on "Restart now".
• When Firefox has opened again, enter "about: config" in the address bar and confirm the warning message.
• Type "babylon" in the search bar.
• Right-click on each of the entries found and select "Reset". You can then close the tab.
• There is a small arrow next to the Babylon logo in the Firefox search bar. Click on it and navigate to "Manage Search Engines".
• Also remove the entry that Babylon Search left there and choose a new search engine.
• Close the window. Babylon Search was successfully removed from Firefox.

Remove Babylon from Chrome

After cleaning up Firefox, Babylon must also be removed from Google Chrome. Similar to Mozilla's browser, the standard search engine has been changed.

• Start Google Chrome.
• Use the wrench symbol and "Tools" to access the extensions. If there are any entries from Babylon, remove them.
• Use the wrench icon to access the options.
• Change the URL under "Home" to that of your preferred website.
• Set "Search" in the dropdown menu to Google instead of Babylon as the search engine.
• Click on "Manage search engines" and move the mouse over the entry "Search the web (Babylon)". With the small "x" you can remove the search.
• Babylon was also successfully removed from Google Chrome.

Remove Babylon Search from IE

Internet Explorer is also affected by Babylon Search. Fortunately, the software can be removed faster here than in other browsers.

• Start Internet Explorer.
• Navigate to "Settings" - "Internet Options".
• Remove Babylon Search from the start page field and enter another page.
• Under the "Advanced" tab you will find a "Reset" button. Click on it.
• Place a checkmark next to "Delete personal settings" and select "Reset".
• Close the windows and restart Internet Explorer.
• Congratulations, Babylon has been completely removed from your computer!

To avoid such cleanup in the future, you should not hastily click "Next" when installing a program. Software like Babylon Search gets on your computers if you don't uncheck the boxes when installing other applications - a little bit of attention can save you a lot of work!
