• What is babylon/how do I get rid of it?

I'm on my grandmothers computer and some spyware called babylon keeps making itself the default searchbar/homepage on firefox, I switch it to google each time but it stays, avast doesn't detect it either.
KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE.
Also I used the windows search all files and folders thing to remove anything that said babylon but it is still doing it so I'm guessing people who make spyware don't name everything the same as the front end.
Try running spybot S&D, that seems to pick it up.
This is almost comical how much shit is on here according to spybot.
Grandmas + Computers = :downs:
Try running malware bytes antimalware aswell to get rid of crap spybot can't detect.
Yesterday ran spybot, found babylon(along with other shit), went to remove and about 1/4 of it said "process in use cannot delete blah blah blah" and so fuck.

Remove it in safe mode.
