Strange things in Google Chrome

Hey everyone, over the weekends my friends came over and downloaded some weird things on my laptop and now whenever i google something on Chrome, it will say waiting for loadstart.biz. The strange thing is that it brings me directly to google. Is it tracking my data? And how should I remove it? I tried using adwcleaner, hitmanpro and mcafee internet security but none of them detected anything. I even reinstalled chrome, checked my installed programs and the registry but found nothing. Can anyone please help me?

Don't have another network to try it out. But it doesn't happen to any other computers on the same network.

Use the recovery disc/usb stick that came with the laptop to revert it to stock.

You'll want to be wary when those friends ask to use your laptop or PC again, or when they pass you any removable media for file transfer.

The last thing I want to happen is to lose all my files. The laptop did not come with a recovery USB. And of definitely not a recovery disc. I'm looking for other things that I can do.
