We're no strangers to unwanted toolbars and browser-hijacking malware.
Neither is Google. The company has released a tool that helps combat the
problem by scanning for bad software and (optionally) resetting your
browser if it's misbehaving.

This Software Removal Tool can be thought of as a last resort, nuclear
option for fixing Chrome without completely reinstalling Windows. The app
runs in two phases. The first scans your computer for any toolbars or other
junk that may have been installed that can affect Chrome. The second
step—which can be canceled—offers to uninstall your extensions, reset your
browser settings, and clear various cache and cookies.

In most cases, you probably won't need to use this to fix a simple problem.
However, if you frequently find yourself fixing a family member's computer
(and they use Chrome), this tool is a handy do-it-all method of clearing
out junk and starting fresh. It's no substitute for proper security
software, but it can definitely help fix many problems in one fell swoop
