Chrome Ad extensions keep coming back

aldentan · 2015-06-22T18:37:05+00:00

Hi, I've been infected by some malware that keeps adding random ad extensions onto my chrome. The latest one was named Ad Punisher. They'd cause ad popups and also appear randomly below the google search bar. I used to simply delete the extension whenever it comes back, but sometimes, some of them can't be found at all in the extensions settings. And I can't seem to get rid of it with the free scanners out there. Help to get rid of this will be much appreciated. Here are my logs.
