    Default Remove [Babylon] Toolbar, search engine, newtab page, etc!

    Recently I am seeing a lot of software embedding the Babylon Toolbar into their setup installers. Some of the example software that contains Babylon Toolbar are SUMo NoRK, AnVir Task Manager, ViStart, and The Web Blocker to name just a few.

Whether it is Babylon, Blekko, MyStart by Incredibar or any other brands of toolbar, they are all the same.

    Although web browser toolbars such as Babylon Toolbar are optional, the biggest problem is they are enabled by default in most cases and unless you select the Custom installation method if there is one, the installer may not even tell you that it’s going to install the toolbar. So, after installing the software that you wanted to install, miraculously your web browser’s started to show an extra bar below the address bar, there’s a Babylon powered start page, and you’re searching on some unknown search engines by default

    Their customer service could be googling around to get feedback. Chances are that they found this thread, and the employee/bot created an account.
