Hello ?
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
 
My advise would be to uninstall Chrome and do a clean reinstall of Google Chrome.
because I have not heard of this issue before. Sounds like a Browser Hyjacker which leads me to believe you might have a /or PUAs.
 
This will give you a fresh start. I am not sure if you want to do that or not and reinstall your extensions again?
 
EDIT: You can reset Chrome instead by looking here
 
Some of us use uBlock Origin instead of AdBlocker Plus. But that's up to you.
 
Now you can always Submit a Support Ticket if you feel you have a threat and they can check your system out free of charge with a Webroot susbcription
 
 
 
Hope this helps?
