I have something called Babylon which keeps coming up. How do I get rid of it, and most importantly mis it a risk to my computer ie a virus?

have a look at this thread:
[https://support.mozilla.org/sl/questions/672012?s=babylon&r=2&e=es&as=s how to delete babylon search which overrules Firefox]
If this does not help, search in SuMo for more on Babylon - there's more, but I guess the above ref should suffice.

  • Something called Babylon has attached to firefox - how do I get rid of it?

    It's called Babylon search but I'd rather use google - I hope it's not a virus.

    10/28/11 - I just fixed this problem and found the solution in one of the other replies.<br />
    Here is the sequence for FF 7.1 (W7-HP) :<br />
    Note: You should, first, Uninstall the Babylon program with Control Panel or, I think, it will just re-infect FF.<br />
    1) Show the FF Toolbar (I hide mine) and select 'Tool"<br />
    2) Select 'Add-ons'<br />
    3) Select 'Extensions'<br />
    4) A list of extensions will appear;<br />
    (On mine, Babylon was right at the top)<br />
    Look for Babylon Toolbar; at the right will be two options:<br />
    Disable Remove<br />
    5) Click on 'Remove'; close the tabs and exit FF (restart FF).<br />
    6) The Babylon stuff should be gone.<br />
    Good luck, this was a real PITA.

  • My Firefox opening page has suddenly developed a ''Babylon'' bar from somewhere. How do i get rid of it and revert to plain firefox.

    My opening firefox page has developed two lines called ''Babylon''with lots of buttons to go direct to facebook/you tube and twitter none of which I use.This appeared about three days ago and i would like to get back to the original plain ''firefox '' page

    In the Windows Control Panel, select Programs and Features. If Babylon is included in the list of installed programs, click on it and you should then be asked if you want to uninstall it.
    If it is not listed there, check the Firefox add-ons manager for the option to uninstall it, for details on doing that see [[uninstalling add-ons]].

  • There is a large flashing advertisement at the top of pages that shouldn't have one, such as this Mozilla page. How can I get rid of this, and is it malware of some sort?

    There is a large flashing advertisement at the top of the page. Problem is, this is appearing on pages that shouldn't have any advertising.

    Not sure how often

    Hello Jim.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • I have cleared all apps from my ipad.  How do yo get rid of calendars and delete saved messages which is taking all mt storagw

    I have cleared all apps but still not able to download a rented movie.  The only spot where I have data stored is in saved messages andd calendars.  Cannot find the saved messages and cannot delete calendars. Any other suggestions because this was a very stupid purchase if you only have enough storage for the standard apps.

    Go to: Settings>General>Usage>and see what is eating up all of your memory. After you find what is eating up most of your memory just delete it thru:Settings>General>Usage. I would not think your calendars and messages would take up all of your memory.
    Cheers,

    ''To fix home page...''
    Type '''about:home''' into the location bar, and if that is what you want for a home page then
    # Tools ("Alt + T") > Options > General
    # When Firefox starts: Show my home Page
    # Click on "Restore to default"
    You can have any page you want for a home page, if you have another page in mind, see

    what is the best virus remover and protector for 10.5.8 version of mac os x???  I  have this thing called macprotector that keeps popping up and trying to get into my computer.  I have heard of a maleware remover...

    First you do NOT I repeat DO NOT have a virus, currently there are no virus's for OS X.  This means you do not need antivirus software, if you insist on installing antivirus software then I'd recommend ClamXav. You have what is called a Trojan, the primary difference between the two is the user has to give permission for a Trojan to download and install itself. The one you got is going around right now however the good news it's quite easy to get rid of. Please read the following article for instructions.

    I no longer have access to the email address used as my Apple ID and when I choose to answer security questions, my DOB had to have been originally entered incorrectly because it keeps failing.  How do I get rid of my old Apple ID and create a new one?

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

  • TS4124 I have over 200+ songs that iTunes deems Ineligible, how do I get them on my devices? I own the CD's!

    I have over 200+ songs that iTunes deems intelligible, how do I get them on my device?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to work out why they are ineligible, are they the wrong format, are the file sizes simply too large or is the data rate at which the audio was iencoded too low.

    Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    else
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    end if
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    If you change your mind later, run the script again.

  • I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

    I have set up mail but it has 37000 mails to load, obviously very old stuff but how do I get rid without loading and deleting, take days?

    Go under settings, mail, contacts and calendars and then choose only to sync back 50 or 100 or 1000 mails. Chances are you don't really need the old ones on your device and it'll save room (I have mine set to 50)
