My reasoning is that on my Google Chrome, instead of opening my new tab page, it opens some type of search engine.

Also something keeps installing random extensions on my chrome.

It's getting on my nerves and it makes my browsing slow.

Can someone help?

Either way, try doing a system restore to an earlier date. I used to do this all the time, and Eternal Minds also suggested it to me.

Maybe Windows 7.
I'm not sure.

Once you are in the CPanel, look for the listed item called "Recovery". You'll want to do a system restore to the next earliest date, or whichever date prior to the one you think you got infected. If you need any further help, you can contact me via Skype.

I'll be on for a little while yet.
