Malware is controlling my Google

DESCRIPTION
(Also, I live in Canada, which is why there are .ca)
I am using Chrome version 39.0.2171.95 (Official Build) m, on Windows 8.1. I am having some problems. Whenever I try to search anything in the omnibox, I get the following page:
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.google.ca (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).
Reloa www.google.ca normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to www.google.ca this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. Either an attacker is trying to pretend to be www.google.ca, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.
You cannot visit www.google.ca right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
I get similar warnings if I try to do a search from the omnibox in Internet Explorer and Firefox. However, typing addresses works, and I can visit any website. Yes, my system clock is synchronized. When I visit www.google.com, it takes me to the page, but the URL in the omnibox always says: http://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=Nmqj ... 8Qf294HYDw. Same thing happens when I try bing.com
If I try to search something from google.com, it redirects me to something called "gooqte.com". For example, if I search the term "chrome", my URL box says: http://www.gooqte.com/search?q=chrome. If I try to do a google images search, it's for some reason google.com.au.
Yes, I have considered that it might be malware or a virus. I have run multiple malware and virus scans with various different software, with none of them yielding any results. I've tried rebooting multiple times, reinstalling Chrome, but nothing works.
What is this and how can I fix it? It is really annoying.
Checked the certificate info on the Privacy Error page, it says the subject is www.courseadoptions.com. Also, is there any way to solve this without wiping my hard drive? I really don't want to do that...
I've also recorded a video showcasing the problem, public Google Drive link here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6EOui ... sp=sharing
