Babylon nuisance, Chrome/Firefox, etc.

[Fiddlesnarf]

A few days ago my Chrome stopped opening the pages I set for it to open when I start it up, it would only open up the Babylon search page. Since then I have searched my entire computer trying to get rid of any and all traces of it, but it still shows up, I can't find any files or anything like that on my computer.
Anyone have any suggestions? I have ran virus scans and they found nothing too.

It's a freakin' plug-in, just turn it off in settings, worked in my case.

You think if it was that easy I wouldn't have figured it out? It doesn't appear in my extensions/plug-ins.

I have tried all of that, the damn thing still won't go away, it appears on my Firefox browser too, so it isn't a Chrome issue, its like a virus.

Googled it and apparently it went a bit rogue and is now classed as a browser hijacker; try these things out:

Try going to Chrome settings, beneath "On Startup" it should have an option to change the startup page.

That is why those things should be banned, preferably with a 5 million dollar fine(or death sentence by airstrike) to whoever keeps making them
