no its legit, i used coordinates, set weapon timers the works.

As the title says.

To me this isn't malware, it's a God damn virus. Anyway, I cannot fully get rid of it as it won't allow me to uninstall it, I can't really disable it.

I was able to half block it. I say half because it no longer defaults my search engine to that bull -blam!- anymore, but if I type in the wrong address or search with the address bar, it will default back to Babylon.

I don't want to purchase any programs to have it removed and I've been doing some searching and I found it is seriously a pain in the ass to get rid of.

Any ideas?

I had had that once too just delete your browser then reinstall it. That worked for me.

Ugh.

I also don't think that will work. It has attached itself to several files so if I do that and bring back the files I want saved it will still be there.

Yes, but like I said it's half blocked right now. It popped up on my PC a while back. The only reason I brought this up now was because by accident I typed something wrong on the address bar and it directed me to that bull -blam!- a gain.

Get into safe mode and see if you can remove it.

I went to Google and typed in "fat people keyboards."
All I saw pretty much was an advice column and fat jokes. :(
I do not think they make them.

Well..

Go in to Safe Mode, activate Malwarebytes Anitmalware and let your computer be fixed.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHROME.

In 2012 the Babylon search toolbar was identified as a browser hijacker that, while very easy to install inadvertently, is unnecessarily difficult to remove afterwards.-Wikipedia

Lol.
