Removing Babylon completely from your computer

Just carefully follow these steps to remove Babylon from your computer(Windows 7).



As normal programs we can uninstall Babylon directly from Add/Remove programs. But it doesn't remove Babylon 100%. You can check it by trying to search something using a browser(Firefox, Chrome). Type something in the URL tab in your Mozilla Firefox. It will automatically give a Babylon search result. This is so bad. I spent few hours searching a way of fixing this issue. I could not found a complete set of instructions to do this for free.Finally I could find a way to fix this issue for free.Here is what worked for me. I'm using windows 7 and my browser is Mozilla Firefox.  
Note: You have to uninstall Firefox completely.
  1. Go to this page and follow Babylon Automatic Removal Instructions.
  2.  Go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins and delete babylon xml file.
  3. Go to Add/Remove program. If there is anything like Babylon uninstall.
  4.  Do a search in C:\Program Files folder. If you find any Babylon files delete all of them.
  5. Finally go to Add/Remove program and uninstall Firefox completely. While uninstalling make sure tick the check box to delete history as well.
  6. Finally install Firefox and install all add-ones and all those what you had before. 
If you have any comments, suggestions, leave those here. Hope this would help you guys.
