I've experienced this for about a month now, and I'm so sick of it. It pops up at random times while I'm on Google Chrome. I have done some research and that's how I know it's a virus. I don't have any weird programs in my programs lists, and I have tried to locate the virus in regedit to delete it but to no avail. I have also checked my extensions and add-ons for Chrome but found nothing. I'm in desperate help as I usually can get rid of viruses myself, or normally I just avoid them when downloading stuff, but this one is stubborn and hidden well or hidden in plain sight, and I'm just dumb lol. Any help is appreciated - I will reply to any questions as fast as possible and follow your guys' suggestions and report back. I'd really respect any help in my situation. I have already scanned my computer with multiple virus scanners. Including MalwareBytes, AdwareCleaner, some Spyware cleaner, CCleaner (not a virus removal program), and many others.. to no luck at all. It's so frustrating. Thank you to anyone that can help and +REP to anyone that gives me the answer that rids me of this trouble.

More specifically, check for extentions and chrome apps and disable any non google.
Chrome://Extensions
Chrome://Apps
If it still happens, probably something at OS level.

As stated, Extensions and Apps were checked. I have ran the Google Chrome test thingy but it came up as nothing. Reset my Chrome, let's see if that works. Thank you

a few options you might want to try
1) restore to a point before this has started ( if at all possible )
2) back up your files and fully rebuild your OS
3)create a bootable virus scan cd you can scan your pc offline with the latest virus definitions [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
if you have the time i would suggest you go with option 2..
if not then just boot up and scan the pc, clear your %temp% & %appdata%
reinstall chrome
check through running tasks to see if anything suspicious is showing up.

Okay, so nothing so far has worked.
I have not tried and would prefer not to try the following:
- Restoring my computer to an earlier point, or restoring it period.
- Reinstalling Chrome.
Anyone have any other suggestions as to how to fix this stupid virus? It just popped up for the first time in a few days like two minutes ago when I clicked on "Home" for TTG.

Why not reinstall chrome? You can save all toolbars and passwords using a google account. Very easy to reinstall and not lose everything if that is what you are scared of.

I'm signed in through a google account, I didn't know it would all save. I'll give reinstalling chrome a shot now - thanks

It sounds a little like Adware.
I would scan with these;
Adwcleaner
Adware Removal Tool
JRT
Then Hitman Pro and then Malwarebytes.
