Chrome redirects to bing shop or name related topic

[Sleepy]

i keep having a issue where ill search something and a adware extension or pup of a unknown origin or type will cover the page in a invisible layer that whenever i click and wherever i click will redirect me to a ad or article or bing shooing search based on the name, i was able to catch the last one and pull the redirects initial link from my ad blocker that allows me to see the sources of certain layers,  one tell tale sign that its happening is that when even i hover over a hyperlink on google it does not underline the hyperlink because your not on its layer, below is the latest redirect link, i apologize if this is improper form but this is slowly getting annoying and malwarebytes nor sophos or avast have been able to kill this bug for me and i need help.

 

hyperlink redirect PUP link.txt

my best guess is that the adware behavior started when i enabled this chrome extension that i had downloaded a while back

if this could be investigated to confirm or deny my beliefs i would greatly appreciate it
