    "Malware warning!!!!!!!"

    July 29, 2012  |   By brucemn

    Pros

    This is a Malware scam for www.babylon.com

    Cons

    At install it will ask for your permission to install Babylon as a browser toolbar, search engine, and default new page. Even after unselecting all options it still managed to install Babylon as default browser and homepage/newpage, and also installed 3 other components outside of Firefox which required Control Panel / Programs to undelete.

    Summary

    Avoid this malware trap at all costs. As soon as you begin the install process you're hosed.

    Nice job Cnet, you completely failed to detect what a scam this software really is!!!
