You can't. It's Facebook's new profile system, and it's here to stay until they replace it, too.

there is no way to remove it - everyone is being converted to the timeline - it's the new look for facebook, not an optional update
this guide will help you learn how to use it

it will take you a few days to get used to the changes, but overall, it's much better than the old profile
you can trick your browser into making it so you see your old profile, but everyone else will still be seeing your timeline profile, along with anything you dont want them seeing, and you wont be able to see anyone else's timeline profile then either

This thing is spreading like a disease! I don't think you can. I'm sorry

Once you have activated 'timeline' there is no way you can get back to your old profile layout. The time I got 'timeline' I was really disappointed in the actions I had taken. I was trying to find ways to get rid of it, but you are stuck with it once you have it. Since this is happening to so many people, all facebook users will eventually get 'timeline'. Also, Facebook might be releasing a date a few months later and for the people that do not have 'timeline' they will get it automatically. There is no date released yet, but the more you use it, you will eventually get used to it and you will feel comfortable with it.

There's no way to undo the Timeline upgrade. Although for the moment Facebook did not make a clear statement in any of its official pages about how the upgrade would be deployed, and as a consequence there is a lot of false information going around, experienced users know that Facebook upgrades of this size have never been optional.
Besides, there are clear evidences that indicate that there will be no way to go back to the old Profile. Take a look at the article in the source to see what those evidences are.
