Babylon has taken over my computer. After hours, I managed to get rid of it on IE and Firefox, but nothing I do works for Chrome. I have made google my default browser in settings and followed the advice of several forums and help services, but nothing works. I am using a pc with windows 7 and I am not very computer tech savvy. Thanks

This is a problem I couldn't replicate. I cleared all my browsing history since the beginning of time, and Google Chrome doesn't show any of my previous URLs.
However, you could be having an issue with Google Web History.
You may have to go in and clear your history there. You also probably want to turn it off, it gets pretty annoying.
If that doesn't work, you probably have malware.
Try the following.
- Press
key to get search box. Type defaultand you’ll getDefault Programsas a result. - Select
Google Chromeand click Set this program as default. Click OK.

Go to
chrome://chrome/settings/searchEnginesand select a proper default search.This is done by hovering over the desired search engine (normally
Google, at the very top of the first list) and clickingMake default.If anything survives, you'll need a malware scanner like MBAM (easy) or HiJackThis (advanced).
