Try to follow the link: chrome: // extensions
After, find this extension and click on the trash (delete), on the right side, from the extension.

    In case a malicious extension has been installed on your browser, try the following:

    1. Delete the extension in the browser extension manager. If the attackers relied on your carelessness, this may be enough.
    2. If you have already tried this method, but the extension has appeared again, then do not start the browser yet. If the browser automatically restarts after removing the extension, check to see if it has been deleted. If yes , close the browser and go to p. 3, otherwise - to p. 6.
    3. Open the properties of the shortcut with which you usually launch your browser. If in the path to the executable file, after its name, you see any suspicious directives (starting with - or -- ) - delete them. Alternatively, simply delete this shortcut and create a new one (in the context menu of the executable file, select "create shortcut", then copy the created shortcut to the directory from which the old one was deleted).
    4. Launch your browser and see if a malicious extension has appeared. If not , close the browser and go to step 5, otherwise go to step 6.
    5. Restart your computer and open the browser again. If there is no malicious extension , then you won , otherwise , check the autorun settings of your system: most likely, a malicious script hangs there, each time the computer starts, it reinstalls the extension into your browser. If you find something similar (or something that neither you nor the system have put there exactly), delete and return to item 1.
    6. If all of the above does not help, start the system in safe mode and return to step 1. In point 5 also use safe mode. If the problem was resolved in safe mode, then a malicious service is installed on your computer that cancels all your actions to remove the extension. Return to normal mode, find it in the list of services and delete. If you can’t figure out that same service, just turn them off , except for the system ones and those known to you. Then go back to step 1.
    7. If all the previous six points did not bring results - you can hardly solve the problem yourself. Install the firewall , configure it to block all unauthorized activity (whitelist mode) and check the computer with antivirus . Repeat paragraphs again. 1-5, if you still have something to eliminate. If even this did not help - my condolences. Call a specialist or reinstall the entire system: They will hardly be able to help you remotely here.
