That's what's wierd - all of my extensions are things like adblock
As stated, best first step is malwarebytes but I would start with running it in safe mode.
Then get hitman pro. It is only free for a trial basis, but it still runs after the trial and it will tell you if you have some garbage, It won't fix things after the trial but then you know to run Malewarebytes in safe mode again.. It runs every time you boot your computer.

Not sure what programs it would be though - it happens on both my ubuntu laptop and mac at work.
Gotta be something specific to chrome. I don't recall it happening in safari or ff, but I don't use those two that much.
