I tried to download Mozzila Firefox browser and instead got this stupid "Babylon Search" browser that I cannot get rid of. Any suggestions?

if your on windows(which I am assuming you are), it should be in the control program, under add/remove programs.

Yeah tried that. Removed it and I still have the Babylon browser.

never heard of that browser, but it does sounds fishy more like a malware of some sort.
When starting your PC, go to safe mode, then go to control panel then uninstall it.

Good Luck~

when you do get firefox running, you have to get the downloadhelper add-on: best flash/youtube/porn ripper around!
