FYI
For those of you who have Babyon installed & are concerned about security, Babylon adds the « Spyware » named "Cydoor".

Documation: Ran ADaware 4.1 (with Babyon installed) and found the Cydoor spyware. Checked my Registry & found a direct link to Babylon.

Yes, successfully got rid of the spyware/adware.

Babylon is a comprehensive free language translation, currency, measurement and time zone conversion, etc. program.
