scan with kaspersky av tool

malwarebytes

super antispyware

and hitman pro

and maybe do a complete refresh of the browser...uninstall..reboot...search for leftover files...delete them...search registry..delete....reinstall browser

Type this into your address bar: chrome://extensions

 

If you see something you didn't install or you think it could be causing this then remove it.

Guys, this is not "Normal", it's adware...
Scan with Combofix, hitman pro, adware removal tool, and again with malwarebytes. 
Reset chrome as well.
