Has anyone gotten bitten by the: 'Ads by Cut The Price' virus? Webroot anti-virus isn't detecting it

   I'm getting pretty beat down with thuis bug. It keeps re-installing itself each time I open up my Chrome browser. I have gone into 'extensions and deleted it, but it continuously re-generates itself. Perhaps it spoofed a registry entry?
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
