Is Chrome set to open a specific webpage?

chrome://settings
At the setting "On startup" there are three radio buttons:
- Open the New Tab page
- Continue where you left off
- Open a specific page or set of pages

If you have specific page selected, you can lick the "Set pages" link and it will open a window that you can choose what your homepage is. If the easyopenweb is listed there, move your mouse over the option and a little "x" appears to the right that you can use to clear out that option.

Then you can set your own homepage or click okay and then choose one of the other two startup options. If this doesn't help, then just ignore me haha.
Have you tried looking under "More Tools" then "Extensions" to see if it can be disabled there?

I came across this article about removing EasyOpenWeb, but I can't vouch for it's effectiveness. But at least reading it confirms that there are other people with the same issue:

You might try un-installing Chrome, deleting the cookies, and then re-install Chrome. Although you will probably lose all of your bookmarks. I think there is a way to save the bookmarks to Windows Explorer or Firefox and then bring them back once Chrome is re-installed, but I am not sure how to do that (I did know several years ago).

If that doesn't work, you may have to follow the steps in the link I gave you above, but I am not too keen on editing the registry. Maybe you can do the other steps and skip the regedit one and hope it goes away.
