NEVER GET CLOSE TO BABYLON (a very annoying adware)

I know I saw a prompt for Babylon install recently.
I THINK it might have been in the install of the YTD Video Downloader from Biennesoft or something like that.

I declined everything related to that and haven’t seen any signs of it existing on my system.
Or at least I certainly haven’t seen anything as overt as a Babylon Toolbar and / or Popups in my face.
