While trying to download some recording software i managed to download a virus that seems to act as an extension for Google chrome, however it does not show in the extension tabs. It also seems to download a utorrent installer and can sometimes open other tabs with extra advertisements. How can i get rid of this? I've tried to uninstall and re-install chrome however this did not work.

(One of the advertisements that pop up.)

I was just coming back to comment saying that malwarebytes seemed to have fixed the problem, an advertisement popped up when coming onto the tomshardware website. The irony.... I'm going to try the hitman one and i'l get back to you on results.

first run hitman pro from www.surfright.com then malwarebytes, full scan, the use combofix, avast, then avast boot scan, also try the avast rootkit removal. after that uninstall chrome, delete all chrome folders in programs and files, app data, and c:\programdata if there as well then reinstall. you should be golden.

This program works good in such cases http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/. Also try uninstalling any suspicious program which you have installed recently.

I think it should do the trick.
 


You may need to run a couple of different Mal-ware programs a couple of times to get all of it off.
