That's what I had experienced - the Babylon toolbar, another one in a long line of annoying crapware.

My girlfriend accidentally installed it when downloading a PDF printer or similar.

They have a search page that looks just like Google's (maybe to minimize the need to switch back).

I didn't get the Microsoft toolbar version, I guess the Babylon one was bad enough.

I used to like C-net, now it's definitely going downhill.
